I. Introduction
=====================================================================
This disk contains Part A of Hewlett-Packard's DeskJet Series v2.1
printer driver for Microsoft Windows 3.0 for the HP DeskJet 500 and
DeskJet 500C.
This driver supports color, greyscale, and black and white printing. It
does not support internal printer fonts, font cartridges, or soft
fonts. To access these fonts, use the HP DeskJet Family driver instead.
The HP DeskJet Series V2.1 Microsoft Windows 3.0 driver is a graphics
data-based driver, and as such, converts all information sent to the
printer to graphics data. If you are printing documents that contain
mostly text and would like the ability to improve your printer's
performance, you may wish to print those files with the HP DeskJet
Family printer driver.
The following issues in the HP DeskJet Series V2.0 driver have been
addressed by the HP DeskJet Series V2.1 driver:
- UAE's or system hangs with 286 machines
- Full justification problems in some word processing applications
DeskJet 500 owners may be interested in the HP DeskJet Series V2.1
driver as it offers the following enhancements over the DeskJet 500
Scalable driver:
- Enhanced error detection
- Additional greyscale options
This driver is accompanied by three scalable fonts: CGTimes, Universe
and Courier. All three fonts are scalable from 4 point to 127 point
size at full resolution either in portrait or landscape orientation.
The file README.TXT included with the file D5WN3A.ZIP contains

II. Contents
=====================================================================
Only a portion of the files required to install the DeskJet Series v2.1
printer driver are included here. Once all of the files have been
unarchived, they will occupy two high density diskettes. The entire
DeskJet Series v2.1 printer driver is contained in the following four
files:
D5WN3A.ZIP - HP DeskJet Series V2.1 Windows 3.0 driver Part 1
D5WN3B.ZIP - HP DeskJet Series V2.1 Windows 3.0 driver Part 2
D5WN3C.ZIP - HP DeskJet Series V2.1 Windows 3.0 driver Part 3
D5WN3D.ZIP - HP DeskJet Series V2.1 Windows 3.0 driver Part 4
The files required for installation of the driver depend on whether you
have access to the HP DeskJet Series V2.0 driver disks (these disks
ship with the DeskJet 500C).
- If you have access to the HP DeskJet Series V2.0 driver disks, copy
the following files contained in D5WN3A.ZIP to the HP DeskJet Series
V2.0 driver disk #1:
DJ500C.DRV
DJ500C.HLP
OEMSETUP.INF
README.TXT
Once you have copied these files to disk #1, you can install the
driver as per the instructions in the INSTALL.DOC file.
- If you do not have access to the HP DeskJet Series V2.0 driver
disks, download all four of the following .ZIP files and follow the
instructions in the Disk Preparation section below. The DeskJet
Series v2.1 printer driver files must be copied to two high density
disks by running the batch file DJDISK.BAT before the program can be
installed. The program is then installed from the disks created by
DJDISK.BAT.

III. Disk Preparation
=====================================================================
NOTE: If you have access to the HP DeskJet Series v2.0 driver disks
that ship with the DeskJet 500C, disregard this section and see
the Contents section above for installation instructions.
The batch file DJDISK.BAT will create two DeskJet Series v2.1 printer
driver disks. Once these disks have been created, you will install the
driver from these disks.
The DeskJet Series v2.1 printer driver installation program expects to
find files on the appropriate diskette. The batch file DJDISK.BAT will
create the diskettes and copy the appropriate files for you
automatically.
Before you begin you will need two blank high density, 5.25" or 3.5"
formatted diskettes.
To create the DeskJet Series v2.1 printer driver diskettes:
1) Make a temporary subdirectory on your hard disk (ie C:\TEMP) and
change to that directory.
2) Copy the following archived files to the temporary subdirectory:
D5WN3A.ZIP
D5WN3B.ZIP
D5WN3C.ZIP
D5WN3D.ZIP
3) Unarchive all of the files.
4) Type DJDISK and press <Enter>. Follow the instructions on the
screen. You will be prompted to put the blank, formatted disks in
Drive A:. The DeskJet Series v2.1 printer driver files will
automatically be copied to these disks.
5) Once the DeskJet Series v2.1 printer driver disks have been
prepared, follow the installation instructions in the INSTALL.DOC
file included with the file D5WN3A.ZIP.
