08/20/92 - v1.3.350 - Initial posting of driver package.
FIXES SINCE GA:
a) APAR#: PJ04342
DESCRIPTION: Large print jobs print slowly from Laserjet
printers that support data compression
compared to Windows 3.1.
RESOLUTION: Implemented compression modes 2 and 3 for those
devices that support it. The field for
"Memory size (KB)" must be changed in the
Laserjet Printer Properties to reflect actual
memory on printer so the driver can select best
compression mode.
b) DCR#: 1399 "Standardizing OS/2 Printer Drivers"
DESCRIPTION: The LaserJet driver stored it's information in the
OS2.INI file instead of the OS2SYS.INI files where
all OS/2 drivers are supposed to.
RESOLUTION: All Job/Printer Properties now stored in OS2SYS.INI
instead of OS2.INI.
c) APAR#: NONE
DESCRIPTION: Occasional trap occurs printing to ledger paper.
RESOLUTION: LaserJet driver fixed.
d) APAR#: NONE
DESCRIPTION: LaserJet reads stored printer/job properties
multiple times unecessarily from OS2SYS.INI.
RESOLUTION: LaserJet driver fixed so it only reads these
properties once.
