Hi Steve,
You'll either need to purchase a font card for your printer, or you'll
need to use software fonts (which opens another can of worms).

We're using this procedure to enable OCR-B with ExcelliPrint, but this
procedure should work with any IPDS capable device or emulator.

Subject: OCR print on HP 9050
We are replacing a twinax attached IPDS capable IBM 6400 printer with a
LAN
attached HP 9050. On the IBM we could print OCR by specifying FONT(3) in
a
PRTF. We will have the HP bluekit IPDS flash card installed to make the
new
printer IPDS capable, but I don't quite understand if IPDS will create
the
OCR font or will we also need to purchase a font card for the printer?
The
OCR fonts don't appear to be resident on the HP. We do not have PSF and
are
running V4R5 (yes that old). AFP capability fonts are installed, but I
don't know if or how that helps.
Thanks,
-Steve
