problems printing in Cyrillic from reinstalled Word97

[Yoshimasa Tsuji]

Hello Laurel,
If your Windows95 prints non-American characters on the screen, but
not on paper, the sole reason for it must be the wrong installation
of your printer driver. If your printer prints wrong characters,
it may be a problem of fonts or cable, but since yours prints the same thing
for pages, it is surely the problem of printer control.
  Please download the proper printer driver from the manufacturer's
home page and install it (or you may find the floppy in the package
you bought).

  If your Pansonic or Epson printers work all right, but Brother
doesn't, it is either because the printer driver for Brother has not
been installed yet or because you didn't switch to Brother printer
in the Control Panel.

  These things happen because recent printers are usually intelligent
enough to tell the computer about their identity and the computer
will automatically set up the system to send the printer-specific data.
But, it looks it is not always the way...

Cheers,
Tsuji

P.S.
Compose a document all in English, set all the region so that it uses
your Cyrillic font. Having seen the changed font in the screen,
print it on your printer. If everything goes all right,
my guesses are all wrong. The point is that Cyrillic fonts have all
the American Standard characters as well.
 If I am right, the problem is not related to the fonts, but
to the printer.
