Sprint Printer Drivers for the HP LaserJet III -- 9-2-91


These drivers support all the printer's built-in fonts, in all full-point
sizes, though not in all symbol sets.  They're based on Borland's own
drivers, with extensive modifications by Allen Brunson and Jim Celoni, S.J..

Here's a list of the files and what's in them.


README.TXT   -- This text file


The main printer driver files:

HPLJ3J.SPL   -- Main LaserJet III printer driver file with the "1800 DPI lie"
                built in (it must be "compiled" with SP-SETUP.EXE before use)
HPALLEN.TCT  -- Formatter macro translations to perform many typeset-quality
                enhancements
EXTRA.FMT    -- Some optional changes to a few format definitions from
                Sprint's STANDARD.FMT file
HPLJ-III.SPR -- Sprint test file with examples of everything this driver is
                capable of
HPLJ-III.TXT -- Main documentation file, NOT in Sprint format, with bunches
                of sample at-sign commands; DON'T load it into Sprint and
                try to print it
MAIN.SPL     -- Replacement MAIN.SPL file for installation via SP-SETUP


Printer driver tools:

PSTWIDTH.SPR -- A sample document useful for testing the values given in
                Sprint printer driver PST tables
LJ3JC.SPL    -- Older LaserJet III printer driver without the "1800 DPI lie"
                but with features not in HPLJ3J.SPL (e.g. some symbol sets,
                landscape mode).  Use as-is or use to hack HPLJ3J.SPL.


Distribution on CompuServe (BorApp, Sprint library) has earlier versions
of most of the files above, plus these files:

HPLJ-300.SPL -- Old-fashioned 300 dpi driver for maintenance uses
PSTCODES.SPR -- A chart for converting the cryptic things in a Sprint PST
                table to regular ASCII values
