Browser bugs my printer


Anita Bonita upgraded to the Windows 3.x version of Netscape Navigator 4.0, but then discovered that all attempts to print to a later model HP LaserJet crashed her PC. Bonita soon remedied the problem by installing the LaserJet III printer driver and specifying the LaserJet III as the default printer in the Windows 3.x Print Manager before launching Netscape. Bonita recommends copying the Print Manager icon into the program group containing the Netscape icon; this helps speed up the process. After you're done with Netscape, switch back to your usual printer driver. This tactic will also work with Internet Explorer 4.0 when run under Windows 3.x.
