This is also available from the same place you got this FixPak from
as
LDF.COM - Self extracting file that will create LOADDSKF.EXE.
Place in a separate directory on your harddisk then
enter LDF.
- or -
LOADDSKF.ZIP - File compressed with PKZIP, contains LOADDSKF.EXE.
Requires PKUNZIP or UNZIP to extract original files
from compressed file.
Use LOADDSKF.EXE to create a diskette. Insert a 2MB HD (1.44MB formatted
diskette in A:
a. Enter LOADDSKF XR0Px12.DSK A: /F/Q/Y
Where x=A, B, C, etc.
Label OS/2 Printer FixPak XR0Px12
ENHANCED PRINTER DRIVER FIXPAK NAMING CONVENTION
------------------------------------------------
So that customers can more readily identify if a new printer FixPak is
available, an enhancement has been made to the naming convention for printer
FixPaks. Instead of the normal naming convention of XR0P0nn, XR0PAnn will
be used for the printer FixPak name. Subsequent printer FixPak releases
will sequentially update the fifth value in the name to allow customers to
differentiate between the different levels of FixPaks.
OS/2 PRINTER FIXPAK NAME = XR0PC12
