BEFORE INSTALLATION
-------------------
1. Attaching Extended Attributes
The Extended Attribute file (.EA) for the driver must be attached
to the actual driver file (.DRV) so installation of the driver
will succeed. This is done by using the EAUTIL.EXE program that
is part of OS/2.
-> Use the command file provided to do this for you.
(example: PMPLOTPD.CMD for the IBM Plotter Queue Processor
PMPLOTPD.DRV)
The command file must be run from the same directory where all
the driver files were unzipped to.
Once this is done successfully, you may proceed with normal
queue driver installation if you are not replacing an older
version of the same processor. If you are see step #2 below.
The installation of an OS/2 Printer Driver is documented in
OS/2 2.0's online Master Help Index under the topic 'queue'
and the subtopic 'changing driver'.
The installation of an OS/2 Printer Object is documented in
OS/2 2.0's online Master Help Index under the topic 'Creating'
and subtopic 'Printer Object'.
2. Replacing existing drivers
If you are replacing an existing driver with the same driver there
are a few things that need to be done before installation.
a) "Hold" every printer object (queue) that has the driver you are
replacing installed as the "Queue Driver".
"Holding" a printer object (queue) is accomplished by:
i. Right mouse button on the printer object (queue),
a menu should appear.
ii. Left mouse button on the menu item "Change status",
a sub-menu should appear.
iii. Left mouse button on the sub-menu item "Hold"
A check mark should appear next to the "Hold" sub-menu item
on subsequent accesses of this sub-menu.
a "Queue driver" for a print object (queue) is found by:
i. Right mouse button on the printer object (queue),
a menu should appear.
ii. Left mouse button on the arrow to the left of menu item
"Open", a sub menu should appear.
iii. Left mouse button on the sub-menu item "Settings",
a notebook should appear.
iv. Left mouse button on the notebook tab labelled "Queue options",
the notebook page should change.
v. You should see a window on this page labelled
"Queue driver" where all queue drivers used
by this queue are shown.
b) Shut down all programs that use any printer object (queue)
for printing. Also, remember to remove any programs
that might automatically start upon booting from the
"startup" folder or startup.cmd file or other command files.
This will ensure these programs won't load the printer driver
you are trying to replace, causing installation of the new
version of the driver to fail.
d) Shut down your computer to save any changes.
c) Reboot your computer. Your system should come up fresh
with no jobs printing or programs running.
d) Directly following this reboot, install the new version
of the queue driver from the directory you unzipped it to.
