Use MSnull/IBMnull Driver with HP IIIsi Printer (97496)
This article was previously published under Q97496
SUMMARY
For reasons that are discussed below, the MSnull or IBMnull drivers are
the best to use on a server to run Hewlett-Packard (HP) IIIsi printers on
LAN Manager.
Any print job you send from an application already has the required
print information embedded, so you don't need a specific driver such
as the IIIsi on the server. As a rule, you want a driver on the server
to be as generic as possible so that jobs--which applications have
already formatted with necessary code--print without being processed
by anything else. Set applicable null driver switches such as Default
Spool Type to RAW, and set the Form Feed control to NONE.
This is the cleanest way to set up a print server for all workstation
environments except OS/2 workstations.
