HP LaserJet IIIP and IIID Settings Not Saved (84512)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q84512 SYMPTOMS
The value in the Memory list box and all other settings isn't saved for
Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IIIP or IIID printers under Microsoft Windows
version 3.1 if the port selected is either LPT1x.OS2, LPTx.DOS, LPTx.PRN,
COMx.OS2, COMx.DOS, COMx.PRN, or any port name with an extension.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, connect the printer to a port without an
extension, such as LPT1 or COM1, and then clear the Fast Printing
Direct To Port check box. Selecting this check box has the same result
as printing to a port with an extension such as LPT1.DOS -- Windows
prints through MS-DOS instead of printing directly to the port through the
BIOS.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the HP LaserJet III
driver that ships with Windows version 3.1. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
