There are 10 new printer drivers for HP laser printers. Some drivers are intended to replace the old drivers, while others have been included to add new functionality. Following are the problems addressed by the new drivers: 1. The following drivers will print in the non-printable area of the paper when printing within a program or from the dot prompt: HPLAS100.PR2 HPLAS2I.PR2 HPLAS2ID.PR2 For example, the output produced by executing a LIST TO PRINT command will have some lines missing if the output runs across two pages. The following drivers are intended to replace those printer drivers: HPLAR100.PR2 Replaces --------> HPLAS100.PR2 HPLAR2I.PR2 Replaces --------> HPLAS2I.PR2 HPLAR2ID.PR2 Replaces --------> HPLAS2ID.PR2 These new drivers prints almost identically to the ones before at 66 lines per page (letter size paper), but the first printable line is now one line higher. 2. The HPLASL.PR2 (landscape driver) may print in the non-printable area of the page with both reports or programs. The problem can be resolved within reports by inserting blank lines in the header and footer bands. To eliminate the problem, you can use the new landscape driver for the HP LaserJet: HPLASL45.PR2 This new driver sets the lines per page to 45, which will produce a top and bottom margins of three lines. To get proper pagination, you must set the page length to 45. 3. It is not possible to print labels properly with the drivers listed below: HPLAS100.PR2 HPLAS2I.PR2 HPLAS2ID.PR2 Since the above drivers change the VMI (line spacing) setting to 7.4/48 of an inch (6.48 lines per inch instead of 6 lines per inch) it is next to impossible or difficult to line up the labels properly. All the parameters on the Dimension menu in the label design are based on 6 lines per inch. The new drivers listed below use VMI of 6 lines per inch with top and bottom margin of 3. The new drivers set the lines per page to 60 (letter size paper), so for proper pagination, you must set the page length to 60. HPLAS60.PR2 HPLAS260.PR2 HPLAD60.PR2 4. With all the old HP Laserjet printers, when printing a line with more than one object on the same line to be boldfaced, for example field headings in a report, only the first object will be printed in boldface. The following HP LaserJet drivers have been changed to access the internal boldface font of the printer: HPLAS260.PR2 HPLAD60.PR2 HPLAR2I.PR2 HPLAR2ID.PR2 HPL245.PR2 The bold attribute will be ignored by the printer if a bold attribute is not available for the font in use. The drivers for the original HP Laserjet printer do not support this method, because they do not have an internal boldface font. The HP series II and IID, however, have internal boldface. 5. The landscape driver HPLASL.PR2, is intended for the original HP laserJet, which does not support the IBM Character set for line and box drawing. The new landscape driver for the HP series II and IID (in simplex mode) is: HPLS2L45.PR2 It does support the IBM character set for line and box drawing. The driver sets the lines per page to 45, so for proper pagination, you must set the page length to 45. ******************************************************************************** Following is a brief description of the new printer drivers for the HP LaserJet printer family.
