Announcing the HP DeskJet Series V3.10 driver for Microsoft Windows 3.0/3.1
Overview
========
The HP DeskJet Series V3.10 Microsoft Windows 3.0/3.1 driver supports the
DeskJet, DeskJet PLUS, DeskJet 500, DeskJet 500C, and DeskJet 550C printers.
This driver supports color, greyscale, and black & white printing. It does
not support internal printer fonts, font cartridges, or soft fonts. To access
these fonts, you would use Microsoft's DeskJet Universal driver instead. The HP
DeskJet Series V3.10 Microsoft Windows 3.0/3.1 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 Microsoft's DeskJet Universal printer driver.
For more information, see the WIN31.DJ file in the DeskJet Library (5).
The following enhancements have been added to the DeskJet Series v3.1
driver:
- Full Windows 3.0/3.1 Compatibility
- Enhanced Automated Printer Driver Installation Utility -
(Installing in Network version of Windows is now easier)
- Updated README file
- Printer Setup/Screen Fonts - The driver now displays only the screen
fonts (Intellifonts) installed through the driver and not the complete
list of window fonts (TrueType, ATM, etc.).
DeskJet Family printer owners may be interested in the HP DeskJet Series
V3.10 driver as it fixes the following problems in the DeskJet Series V3.0
driver:
- Intuit Quicken 2.0 - Color graphs will now print in color. The user
must set the application to print in color. From Graph, select
Preferences, then Print in Color. Quicken incorrectly interfaced with
the v3.0 driver and caused us to return settings common to all our
printer models (i.e. Black/Grayscale). We have fixed the driver so that
the settings returned are printer specific. Intuit has fixed their
calls, so future versions of Quicken should not have this problem.
- Micrografx Designer 3.1 - Printing white filled text with a
dark background works correctly when Standard dithering is selected.
- Microsoft Project 3.0 - Starting and ending shapes (milestone markers,
etc.) and color crosshatching will print in color in Standard dither.
- Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0b/Microsoft Draw - Graphics created with
Draw from Word now print as displayed.
- Microsoft Works 2.0 - Pie charts now print in color.
- Pagemaker 4.0 - Dotted and dashed borders print correctly.
- LAN installed Windows - HPSETUP installation now works on systems that
run Windows from a network server.
- TrueType/Windows 3.1 - Text over 60 points tall formatted with a drop
shadow will print correctly. White TrueType text on a colored
background with the driver set to Standard dither will print correctly.
Tall text and text with colored backgrounds using TrueType fonts print
correctly.
Application notes containing additional information on the DeskJet Series
V3.10 driver are located in the file README.TXT which is in D5WN3A.ZIP.
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.
