Problem
Solutions: This information deals with using the HP PostScript Cartridge Plus cartridge with the HP Laserjet III/IIID/IIIP printers. There is a TSR file that will allow the printer to go from PostScript to Laser (PCL). The file is shipped with the cartridge on a disk along with the file M_CNTXT.COM. This file needs to be copied to the hard disk. Customers will need to add a line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in order for the TSR to run. If the customer is on a network, this line should go before the Login and Capture commands. However, here at WPCorp it was found through testing that it will work better after the Capture command. The file M_CNTXT.COM is for Novell Network. The customer should read the printer manual to find out what file they would need with their system. Single users will not need this file, but would still require the change in the AUTOEXEC.BAT, only without the filename. M_CNTXT.COM LPT# (or the port the customer is using) LPT#=AUTO, DEFAULT=PCL, EJT=20 (This has to be less then TI in the capture command) LJ=IIID (or IIIP, IIID, IIIsi, depending on which printer they have). If a customer cannot run the TSR to have the printer switch PostScript back to Laser (PCL) mode, there is a physical way to change the printer back and forth. It is as follows: For the HP LaserJet III or IIID 1. Press ONLINE button to take printer off-line 2. Press and hold down the + and the Reset buttons. This will toggle the printer between the 2 modes. 3. Release both buttons when either PCL START or POSTSCRIPT START appears in the printer window. For the HP LaserJet IIIP 1. Press the ONLINE button to take printer off-line 2. Press and hold down the +/- and the ALT/Reset buttons. This will toggle the printer between the 2 modes. 3. Release both buttons when either PCL START or PS START appears in the printer window. WPCORP does not support setting up this TSR or troubleshooting problems with the TSR. Customers need to be referred to Hewlett Packard to solve any problems with the TSR. This should not be confused with the support WPCorp will provide for the cartridge itself. If the printer has the cartridge in the slot and the printer menu says PostScript Ready, the printer should print using the HP PostScript Plus driver or the regular HP PostScript driver from WordPerfect. |
