-
- Version 2.40 has been updated from previous versions to support
- Microsoft's new Windows 95 Operating System (in addition to Windows 3.1
- and Windows For Workgroups (WFW) 3.11). It has also been updated to
- support bi-directional communication in Windows 3.1/3.11 Netware clients.
- See the "Bi-directional..." paragragh in the USER HINTS section of this
- README. The printer driver name in Windows will be "HP LaserJet
- 5Si/5SiMX".

- BEFORE YOU INSTALL!
- ************************************************************************
- - Close all applications and TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)programs
- that load at startup (in Windows or DOS) such as virus checkers, fax
- utilities, etc., and all other applications that may be open.
- - Close any shell utilities such as: Microsoft Office Manager, Norton
- Desktop, Dashboard, etc.
- - Exit any previous version of HP Status Window that may be running.
-
- These precautions help ensure a smooth installation. After installing
- the HP LaserJet Printer Driver, you can turn these programs back on.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HINT regarding closing applications:
-
- In Windows 95, click on the respective icon(s) in the "Taskbar" and then
- close any applications that may be open.
-
- In Windows 3.1/3.11, simultaneously press [Ctrl] and [Esc] to launch the
- "Task List" window. In it select each application, except Program
- Manager, and click on "End Task" to close it.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HINT regarding closing shell utilities:
-
- In order to close some shell utilities you may need to refer to the documentation provided with that utility if you need more assistance.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HINT #1 regarding file sharing violation messages:
-
- If some applications are loaded via Windows "startup", you may continue to receive file sharing violation messages during driver installation.
- It may be necessary to reboot without any applications or utilities
- automatically loaded by "startup". See your Windows documentation on the
- "startup" to disable these applications during driver installation.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HINT #2 regarding file sharing violation messages:
-
- If an application has used an older version of this driver in the
- same session, i.e. without rebooting Windows, you may receive a file
- sharing violation message. When Windows uses a driver, many of the files
- used are locked to prevent overwriting them. The options below are
- provided for your assistance.
-
- 1. Close the application and reboot Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
- 2. Windows 3.1 - Use Control Panel and delete old driver. You can then

- Bi-directional communication for Windows 3.1 or 3.11 Netware Clients

- communication is available when the printer is connected to a Novell
- Netware network by an HP JetDirect Print Server or a Novell Netware NLM
- for HP LaserJet printers. You need to obtain and install JetAdmin for
- Netware version A.02.11 which currently can be found in the Network
- Connectivity section of Access HP. Select Software and Support, Network
- Connectivity, HP JetAdmin Software for Netware, version A.02.11. If the
