Changing Printer Driver (corrects crooked columns when printing from the nutrition programs)

Create an additional printer installation in Windows and assign a generic text-only driver to it – this will allow you to print your information correctly:

1. Double Click on the "(My) Computer" icon on your desktop or in the Start menu, and then access the Control Panel.
2. Click on the "Printers and Other Hardware" or "Printers and Faxes" folder.
3. Click on the “File” menu, choose “Add Printer,” and click “Next.”
4. Choose “Local printer attached to this computer” and click “Next.”
5. Use the LPT 1 Port, and click “Next.”
6. Choose “Generic” under Manufacturer, and “Generic/Text Only” under Printers. Click “Next.”
7. Choose “Keep existing driver (recommended)” and click “Next.”
8. You can keep the Generic name, but DO NOT choose to make this your default printer! Choose “No” and click “Next” then complete the installation.
9. To print from the nutrition program, from the drop-down menu in your print dialog box choose the generic, text-only printer that you created.
