- Al,
-
- I had the same impression, but Brian's getting his IIIP going inspired me to
- try the HPPCL5a driver dated 10-17-91 that comes with W4W -- it works! The
- HPPCL5a driver that comes with Win 3.1 is dated 3-10-92 and doesn't even
- install so I guess that all Win 3.1 drivers don't necessarily work.
