Dear Sirs We have just installed a LaserJet 5MP (PostScript) under Windows 95 (M8 beta) but it refuses to print any colour postscript prints from PagePlus 3.0. The printer prints an error page giving "offending command: PP". Any ideas? Black and white prints are fine. Regards, Neil Geddes

Well, considering it's a black and white printer I'm not too sure why this is a big problem, but if it won't print colors as grays then it's the WIN95 driver. Since WIN95 doesn't have a 5MP driver it's using the generic Postscript one, most likely, or you are using the 16 bit Adobe driver that ships with the printer, and which should be, but may not be, compatible with WIN95. This is the price of using a beta operating system. It'll be worked out by the time WIN95 is actually a finished product.

I deliberately did not install the driver that came with the printer and yes, Windows is using its generic driver. Thanks for your quick reply. Regards, Neil
