Use Printer Drivers Provided with Windows 3.1 (82759)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11

SUMMARY

For best printing results, Microsoft recommends that you use the printer drivers provided with Microsoft Windows, rather than printer drivers from other sources. For example, Word for Windows version 2.0 provides its own HPPCL5A.DRV printer driver. Setting up Windows 3.1 over earlier versions of Windows leaves the earlier printer drivers in the system directory. If strange printing results occur, check to be sure the proper Windows printer driver is in use.
