- ========================
-
- PRINTER DRIVERS FOR THE SERIES 3
- --------------------------------
-
- This directory contains printer drivers and associated files for
- extending the range of printers that you can use with your Series
- 3/3a. You can install them into a \WDR\ directory on any disk on your
- Series 3/3a. The next time you then use a `Print setup' option, you
- will find the extra printers available in the dialog.
-
- HP2.WDR - printer driver for the Hewlett Packard Laserjet II.
-
- HP2P.WDR - printer driver for the Hewlett Packard Laserjet IIP/IID.
-
- HP3.WDR - printer driver for the Hewlett Packard Laserjet III.
-
- HPDJ.WDR - printe rdriver for the Hewlett Packard Deskjet.
-
- HPDJ500.WDR - printer driver for the Hewlett Packard Deskjet 500.
-
- HPDJ550.WDR - printer driver for the Hewlett Packard Deskjet 550.

-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- You can choose to install single drivers, or all of the drivers.
-
- 1. Display the RCom command prompt (on Windows-based PCs use the RCom
- icon; on DOS-based PCs enter the appropriate command to run RCom).
-
- 2. Make sure that the current directory is the one in which you
- installed RCom. If RCom is located at the path c:\psrcom, for
- example, you can type CD C:\PSRCOM to make this the current
- directory.
-
- 3. Make sure that the `Remote link' option on the Series 3/3a System
- screen is set to `On'.
-
- To install a single driver:
-
- 4. Type PRINST followed by the name of the printer driver you wish to
- install, then the new (virtual) PC drive letter that is set up to
- represent the Series 3/3a drive on which you wish to install that
- driver.
-
- For example, to install the driver for the Hewlet Packard Deskjet
- into the \WDR directory on the internal drive you would type
- PRINST HPDJ.WDR I:
-
- You can also use wildcard characters if you wish to install more than
- one driver at a time. For example, to install the HPDJ500 and HPDJ550
- printer drivers you can use the following command:
- PRINST HPDJ5*.* I:
-
- To install ALL of the printer drivers:
-
- 4. Type PRINST *.* followed by the new (virtual) PC drive letter that
- is set up to represent the Series 3 drive on which you wish to
- install the drivers. For example, type PRINST *.* I: to install them
- into the \WDR directory on the internal drive.
-
- PRINST runs the installation batch file PRINST.BAT which copies the printer
- drivers that you have requested into the \WDR directory on the specified
- Series 3 drive.
-
- Note: Don't confuse the \WRD and \WDR directories - \WRD\ is the
- directory where Word processor documents are stored, while \WDR is
- where the Word processor keeps special files of various kinds
- (templates, and add-on software or printer drivers).
