- : More Detail:
- : I have a HP-DeskJet (not DeskWriter) which is hooked up to
- : my printer port. I have A-Max set up to use Port B as printer port
- : with NO emulation. I have a HP-DeskWriter printer driver which says
- : that it will use the "Serial port" to communicate.
- : When I select the driver via the chooser, I select the printer icon
- : and not the serial icon. When I try to print, the app (Word) complains
- : it can't find theprinter.

- I'm using a Desjet 500 with Amax 2.51 somewhat successfully.
- I'm using the PD driver "HPDJ." I had tried using the newest
- version of the driver which allowed automatic spooling and
- a number of other features (v. 3.0b0) However, I had a number
- of problems with programs crashing while trying to print.
- I just recently switched to the old version of this driver
- and everything seems to be working fine. (v 2.1)
-
- The driver can be found on wuarchive.wustl.edu under the following:
-
- systems/mac/rascal/printing-support/HPDJ_Driver.pit.bin
-
- Docs and source are available in separate archives..
-
- Best of luck!
