Default spaces between letters in a justified word docuements

When I print a justified XP word document, there are some
spaces between letters, different from the screen.

If you use full justification, the space between characters or words
has to vary to get the square right edge. Newspapers do it all the
time. Most people use left-justification with ragged right edges.
This has nothing to do with the operating system. It has to do with
how the printer tries to faithfully reproduce on the printed page
what is on the screen. Some printers are better than others. Fixed
width fonts such as Courier give the most trouble. Each character
occupies the same width. So you have no space or one space between
characters. Proportional fonts can give partial spaces between
characters and words.
