- FIXES SINCE GA:

- DESCRIPTION: Large print jobs print slowly from Laserjet
- printers that support data compression
- compared to Windows 3.1.
- RESOLUTION: Implemented compression modes 2 and 3 for those
- devices that support it. The field for
- "Memory size (KB)" must be changed in the
- Laserjet Printer Properties to reflect actual
- memory on printer so the driver can select best
- compression mode.
-
- b) DCR#: 1399 "Standardizing OS/2 Printer Drivers"
- DESCRIPTION: The LaserJet driver stored it's information in the
- OS2.INI file instead of the OS2SYS.INI files where
- all OS/2 drivers are supposed to.

- instead of OS2.INI.
-
- c) APAR#: NONE
- DESCRIPTION: Occasional trap occurs printing to ledger paper.
- RESOLUTION: LaserJet driver fixed.
-
- d) APAR#: NONE
- DESCRIPTION: LaserJet reads stored printer/job properties
- multiple times unecessarily from OS2SYS.INI.
- RESOLUTION: LaserJet driver fixed so it only reads these
- properties once.
-
- v1.3.333 - font files (.FNT) now have EA files (.FNI)

- will succeed. This is done by using the EAUTIL.EXE program that
- is part of OS/2.
-
- * Use the command file (LASERJET.CMD) provided to do this for you.
-
- Once, this is done successfully you may proceed with normal
- printer driver installation.
