OSWAPDRV - NO PROMPT TO INSTALL WIN-OS/2 PRINTER DRIVER IN OS/2 WARP
CONNECT
02/02/96
=======================================================================
No Prompt to Install WIN-OS/2 Printer Driver in OS/2 Warp Connect
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
After installing an OS/2 printer driver, no prompt is received about
installing an equivalent WIN-OS/2 printer driver.
RESOLUTION
There are two possible causes of this problem:
* The WIN-OS/2 version that comes with OS/2 is equivalent to Microsoft
Windows 3.1. Consequently, the only Windows printer drivers that come
with OS/2 are those that were available with Windows 3.1. If the OS/2
printer driver is later than Windows 3.1, there will be no equivalent
Windows driver.
SOLUTION: Install the Windows driver that came with the printer, or
contact the printer manufacturer for a Windows driver.
* The \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory has the file, DRVMAP.INF. This
file matches the OS/2 printer drivers with the WIN-OS/2 printer
drivers. If the file is missing or damaged, you will not receive the
prompt about installing a WIN-OS/2 printer driver.
SOLUTION: Either copy DRVMAP.INF from another system, or unpack it
from the file, WINENV, which is on Diskette 12 in OS/2 Warp Fullpack.
