- General Windows Printing Information
- ============================================
-
- In order to print using WIN-OS2 you need to install the WIN-OS2 3.0
- printer driver for your printer. The WIN-OS2 3.0 printer drivers
- included with OS/2 2.0 are the same drivers that originally shipped
- with Microsoft Windows 3.0. There are some Window 3.0 drivers that do
- not have an equivalent OS/2-2.0 printer driver and conversely, there are
- OS/2-2.0 printer drivers that do not have an equivalent Windows 3.0 driver.
- Lack of features, lack of a specific printer driver or driver feature
- in WIN-OS2 is no different than that of DOS/WINDOWS. If you have a
- WIN-OS2 printer driver without an equivalent OS/2 printer driver, use
- the IBMNULL OS/2 printer driver for that port. The OS/2-2.0 printer
- driver will have no effect on printing from WIN-OS2.
-
- A list of supported printers for WIN-OS2 and OS/2 is on the OS/2
- Driver Disk 1 in the files PRDEV.LST and PRDESC.LST.
-
- If you need to print using LPT3 or LPT4 via a redirected network
- printer, you must add LPT3.OS2 and LPT4.OS2 to the WIN.INI file
- underneath LPT2.OS2. The WIN.INI file is in the \OS2\MDOS\WIN-OS2
- directory.
