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.
