#PS Driver for HP4MV
2 messages in this thread
We desperately need a _working_ printer driver for our new HP4MV for use with
FrameMaker 4.0 Windows. We received the Adobe 2.1.1 driver with the printer,
and it has serious problems in that it won't print all the pages of some of our
documents and causes GPFs when printing others.
We downloaded the Adobe 2.1.2 driver from the Adobe Systems forum this morning
and spent _all_day_ trying to make it work. Still doesn't print all of some
documents. Fewer GPFs though.
The suggested work-around of using the Windows 3.58 PS driver doesn't meet our
needs because we need to use the 11" X 17" capability of the printer. In fact
that was one of the reasons for purchasing the printer.
Any suggestions? Don't much want to hear "a new driver is coming this summer."

Most people do not have this problem with the 2.1.2 driver that you're
having, so it's certainly something in your own setup. Adobe is quite familiar
with the driver and supports it in ADOBEAPPs here, and you might check and see
if they have any ideas. I've had a few problems in getting things to print now
and then (mostly solved by adding lots of memory to the printer, optimizing the
hard disk, and freeing up TEMP space) but I can't remember having a GPF with
this driver and I've typeset some pretty large books with it including one in
FrameMaker 4. This isn't to make light of your problem or deny it, but merely
to point out that since it's NOT generic it's not something easily solved, if
at all, by remote BBS even if we had a clear picture of your entire system,
which you have not furnished.
