Win3.1 driver for LJ5P
Message #272620
I just purchased a 5P printer, but am having problems printing graphs from Quattro Pro 5.0 for windows. Specifically, the symbols and lines of the graph itself plot ok, as do the axis titles and tic labels. However, the box outlining the graph is vvvveeeerrrryyyy light. I do not have…
re:"Every time I print an envelope it gets wrinkled at the last 2 to 3 inches. Could this roller fix help" Maybe, maybe not. The LJ4 has enough problems with envelopes as it is without considering the output rollers. Sorry I can't be of more help. Don Morris Advanced Toner…
re: "…the left several characters of my printout…get chopped off a little more than a half inch from the left edge of the paper. I can see small pieces of the right edge of the cut off char(s)." Steven and Anne, have you double-checked your margins? If you try printing…
re: "We have recently changed toners so have ruled that out as a possibility." Do you mean that you have changed toner cartridges and the problem persists? Have you tried yet another cartridge? Have you tried another, fresh ream of paper? Paper absorbs water from the air and can affect…
Mr. Echardt, I found the information on Separator Pages and successfully modified one to go to the lower bin. However, the printout did not follow. The output is from an application called "Crystal Reports" and for me to be successful, I will need to imbed the escape sequence in the…
Thanks, I'll call them right away!
Thanks for responding and letting me know there is a driver which might help. I am working under Windows for Workgroups so I was glad to see you mention that it helps. I hope HP generates a fix soon! Thanks again.
re: "Should I have the rollers replaced, and what would be the cost of the replacement or is there something else which maybe causing the problem?" Try cleaning the rollers with typewriter platen cleaner (office supply stores) and a clean cloth. Then clean the feed guides at the back of…
This has worked for other users: At the C:\windows prompt, with the WFWG disk 3 in :A:", then disk 4 in "A:", enter: Expand A:\printman.ex_ c:\windows\printman.exe (disk 3) Expand A:\printman.hl_ c:\windows\printman.hlp (disk 4)
Depends If you're using a proportional font, you'll have a hard time (impossible) lining things up if you simply rely on spaces as your column start/stop points. If you can write a fancy printf (been a while since C, so bear with me) statement that would take advantage of the…
Wanted: A0 Plotter
Message #272577
I'm looking for a 2nd hand A0 plotter (jet or pen). Low price is more important than ultimate quality, although it should work ! Please reply directly by mail. Simon
Thanks Andy, I'll be waiting.
JetPrint
Message #272573
Bob, Your name was referenced as a source for infot on JetAdmin/JetPrint, presumabaly because you uploaded the most recent version to HPPER. Any case, I have 2 tech questions. 1) We have a shared install of Winodws. When a user allows JetPrint to install a Windows printer driver, all driver…
Dick, No wonder I couldn't find the Boise paper . Boy is my face red! I live in western Washington State which isn't a hotbed of humid conditions, but I have seen varying results with the same paper. You make a good point about the HP facility location effecting design.…
#JetDirect and Windows NT
Message #272569
Okay, here's the situation. I have an HP4 with a Jet Direct card on the TBase10 little Lan here. Three machines are NT. 2 are 3.51, one is 3.5. The 66mhz 486 is my "server" in that I have everyone printing via that machine. Lately, my NT 3.51 90mhz Pentium…
#WFW Print Man
Message #272565
I have a new 4M attached to a WFW 3.11 directly. Other 3.11 clients are accessing the 4M over an Ethernet through the WFW host print manager. The problem is that the remote users jobs won't clear in the print manager after printing is complete?. The local users jobs do…
It's not the drivers, it's the Status Monitor, which is part of the Windows Printing System (the drivers is another part). You can get the entire WPS by calling HP DIstribution at 303-339-7009. Tell them you need v1.35 for a 4L.
Rich- Try plotting to a file named for the captured port (like lpt1)… you should also look at updating your AUtoCAD to 12c3 (dos) or 12c4 (win). TO get what version you have, type acadver at the command prompt. —///Andy Fredrick
Mark- Look in Library 10 in about 10 days (maybe less) and there will be something there that will work for you. In the mean time, continue with teh system printer driver. —///Andy Fredrick
bold smears
Message #272524
I had black smears on print outs today from my laserjet 4P. The smears only happened on the Brittanica Bold fonts. Please advise. Vi Adkins
Win->SUN->LTalk->HP4
Message #272523
Anybody know how to do the following? Print from a Windows application to a HP 4M (no JetDirect) when: 1> HP 4M is linked to a UNIX box over LocalTalk and a FastPath 4 gateway. 2> Windows machine is using PC-NFS. HP Tech support says it can probably be done…
Thanks for the info. I'm on my way!
#Way cool
Message #272519
Hey, since you like to play with fun stuff…have you tried the new NetLauncher from CompuServe? It gives you the Spry Mosaic browser to wander the Web and do ftp transfers, and allows you to run a WinCIM session at the same time. Pretty neat! I downloaded a new support…
Microsoft supplies the Win95 drivers (GO MSL)
For DOS applications you'll need to check with the software vendor. GO LOTUSA or I have a number for Lotus driver orders 800-343-5414
Andy, what was your suggestion to get HPGL/2 plots on my 4V?
#HP LaserJet 4L Drivers
Message #272501
I'm getting the "Printer Not Responding" status window every time I try to print. As I understand, the drivers supplied here won't help because the whole driver distribution can't be posted due to licensing restrictions. (I think it says that in the readme file somewhere). How do I obtain the…
Scott, Thanks much. I will try contacting hp to get font meterics. The auto line wrap command to which you refer, do you think it would work in my situation? I am basically creating a program that condenses an ascii text file into a multi column per page report, there…
#HPLaser4P & Win95
Message #272490
Hi! I am just wondering if there is an Win95-Driver for the HPLaserjet 4p available already. And, if not, when it will be available and how to get it. Thanks a lot for your help! Oliver Burtscher, Zurich/Switzerland 100542,2205
James You can contact HP directly and try to get their font metrics (maybe Annie will be nice and give that number to you ) The auto line wrap command is &s1C ( 0C for off). This might be a simple solution for you.
David It's called a "macro." Basically, you design a form, print it to file and strip out the printer resets. You'll then add a few commands at the beginning and end of the file which then ID the file as an overlay macro. You can copy this file to the…
4MV / MSWord6.0 "Symbol"
Message #272481
One of our users presented me with a problem that may be a driver issue. She was using MS WinWord 6.0 printing to an HP Laserjet 4MV utilizing the HPPCCL5E.DRV version 31.1.50 (6/22/94) printer driver and was trying to print some square boxes–pulling down the "Insert" menu, choosing the "Symbol"…

fonts & HP4
Message #272468
Is it possible to buy the CG times an dUnivers fonts for Windows 3.11 as Truetype fonts? It seem sto me if i don't have these fonts all our Dos documents must be re- latouted. Where can i buy these (HP???) fonts.
i believe the screen saver changed some .ini -files of windows, just like the installation program of the hp does. look in your windows-dir for a driver with a name like pcspeaker.drv or something like that ( don't know excactly ) and then look in the .ini-files ( i always…
JetDirect and Banners
Message #272461
I have two HPJetDirect cards in two HP4Si's on a Netware 3.12 Token-ring LAN. When users use Netware User Tools to change printer assignments, they must change the LPT settings each time to turn off banners and form feed. Is there a 'global' setting to make NFF and NB the…
Andy, >> It won't let you use the full page size. Ah…I didn't see the 4V in the header. John
Fred, Thanks for the info. >> I've heard from HP that there is a $250 rebate available on the purchase of a 4P. I called H.P. about this, and it only applies to the 4V. ;( John
printing HPGL Files
Message #272458
Roger, We are using a Laserjet 4 to print our HPGL2 plot files. I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but this is what we do: First, initialize the printer to HPGL mode by sending a file to do this: type hpgl2.mod > lpt1 contents of hpgl2.mod…
#PCL 5 Word Wrap
Message #272457
Can anyone help with the following problem I am having? I am writing a C program that reads and ascii text file and creates a multi column pcl per page pcl document. My problem is that I am not sure how I can reliably determine when I am at the…
#LJ4M Broken/faded text
Message #272454
We are experiencing a print output problem with our LJ 4M. On almost every page printed the print quality at the lower left quadrant of the page is faded or better, text on the page is light or broken up, mainly in the middle of text characters. The rest of…
Shared Windows Install
Message #272449
I am interested in updating to the latest PCL and Postscipt drivers for the HP4siMX and the HP 3si (with Postscript). Both printers have JetDirect cards (although I think the NIC for the 3si was called something else at the time the printer was purchased). We have a shared network…
#PCL5 form printing
Message #272445
I need to print some reports (using ACCESS 2) on a LaserJet 3 or 4 which all have a standard background form which is a Windows meta file, but with different data for each print. To print 300 forms takes too long because the background is sent and rendered for…
JetDirect Protocols
Message #272439
What Laserjet 4 printers will allow multi-protocol operation. I am trying to establish which of my 4's, 4M's and 4Si's will be able to accept requests from both an NT Server using DLC/LLC and an HP9000 using TCP/IP. Thanks, Rob Horan.
Disable Parallel Port
Message #272435
Is there a way to disable the centronics port on an HP 4si? The others can be done via the panel, but not the centronics. Any ideas?
#LaserJet 4MV Drivers
Message #272430
We have Lotus 123 Release 4 and recently purchased the 4MV printer. Is there a printer driver available for this version of Lotus 123 and this printer? If so, how do I acquire it? If not, what can be done to use this printer with Lotus? Thanks.
Paul Hook up both. They'll exist peacefully together.
Thanx for the intel. Fred Chanowski 71736,3662
< What happens if you specify only a single bin (for *all* pages) in Word while the driver is set to mixed bins? I had thought that this works correctly and I shall test it > I tried that with 2.1.2 and 2.1.1. I get the first page from the…

Hi, I'm getting a general protection fault message only on my windows based loan processing software. They say use a laserjet 3 driver, but it takes a long time to print and does some funny things to some of the printing. most of the program works ok except one particular…
