README file for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III
printer driver, V. 3.60 for Windows 3.0
=====================================================================
=====================================================================
This README file contains the following information:
* Installation Instructions
* New Features
* Other Enhancements
* User Hints
* Word for Windows Note
=====================================================================
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=====================================================================
To install the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III driver:
1. If you already have a LaserJet III printer installed, skip
to step 2. If you do not have a LaserJet III currently
installed, you must first follow the standard Windows driver
installation procedure and install the LaserJet III driver,
HPPCL5A.DRV, that came with Windows 3.0.
2. Use DOS or the Windows 3.0 File Manager to copy the new
PCL5 / HP LaserJet III driver files from the driver disk
to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. These files are named:
HPPCL5A.DRV
HPPCL5A.HLP
3. If you are installing a new printer, rather than just
updating the driver, follow the Windows instructions for
configuring printers.
=====================================================================
NEW FEATURES
=====================================================================
The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III Printer Driver (filename HPPCL5A.DRV)
version 3.60 contains the following new features:
* Support of two new Hewlett-Packard scalable typeface cartridges:
Brilliant Presentations I/Compelling Publications II
Distinctive Documents I/Compelling Publications I
The cartridges can be selected from the cartridge list in the
Printer Setup dialog box. Each cartridge font is available in
the Windows ANSI (WN) symbol set, with the exception of Zapf
Dingbats, which is available in the following symbol sets:
Series 100 (D1), Series 200 (D2), Series 300 (D3), and
Postscript (DS).
* Support of the Hewlett-Packard WordPerfect bitmapped font cartridge.
* Faster printing of graphics.
In 386 mode, the speed of printing graphics has been
significantly improved for applications that use metafiles.
The speed of printing bitmaps has not been affected.
* Ability to use reverse type (white text on solid background).
* Support for changing print direction on a single page in
90 degree increments (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees).
* Two graphic appearance selections -- Gray Scale Graphics
"on" or "off" --
The Printer Setup dialog box in the Windows Control Panel
allows you to choose Gray Scale Graphics.
For an improved photographic appearance, turn on Gray Scale
Graphics. Your images will have smooth, soft looking contrasts
between shades of gray. Images originally designed with color
will print better too.
For images that have a "line draw" look, turn off Gray Scale
Graphics. Though the fine details of line work will be
clear, the contrasts between shaded areas can appear harsh.
* Selection of envelope paper sizes.
* Help file updated.
* Changes to font symbol set references
To provide WYSIWYG capabilities, user-selected symbol sets
are now printed as they are defined, instead of being
remapped or translated to the Windows ANSI set. For
example, Roman-8 fonts now print according to the Roman-8
mapping, rather than Windows ANSI.
In internal fonts, scalable cartridge fonts, and Type Director
fonts, the symbol set appears as part of the font name in the
application's font menu. In these cases, the symbol set is
represented by a two character abbreviation in parentheses.
For example:
Fontname (XX)
Where XX represents the two character symbol set code.
=====================================================================
OTHER ENHANCEMENTS
=====================================================================
The following enhancements have been made to Version 3.6
of the Hewlett-Packard Windows Printer Driver. These include:
* Paper Size selections in the menu are correct.
* Error 20 PRINT OVERRUN no longer occurs when printing a rule
around the page using PageMaker.
=====================================================================
USER HINTS
=====================================================================
Note the following information:
* The ability to print reverse text on patterned rules
is not supported.
* A to Z Font Cartridges
Traditional font support information (PCM files) are available
for the Hewlett-Packard font cartridges A through Z on the
HP forum on CompuServe.
=====================================================================
WORD FOR WINDOWS NOTE
=====================================================================
Microsoft's Word for Windows does not immediately recognize fonts
installed by font management programs such as Hewlett-Packard's Type Director.
To cause new fonts to appear in the Word for Windows font list,
take the following steps:
1. Select Printer Setup from the "File" menu.
2. Click the "Setup" button to bring up the printer setup
dialog box.
3. Click the "Fonts" button to bring up the font installer.
4. Exit the font installer by clicking, "Exit."
5. Click "OK" -- not "Cancel" -- at each dialog box until
you return to the main menu.
