- If you have received this driver electronically, or the files have
- been copied using DOS instead of OS/2, you must first reconstruct
- the driver release disk, otherwise the installation will fail.
-
-
- Constructing a Driver Release Disk
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Printer Installer for OS/2 requires special extended attributes
- (EA's) for the driver files which will only be preserved if files are
- copied under OS/2. These EAs will be lost if the driver has been
- transferred electronically or using the DOS copy command.
- Additional files have been supplied with this driver to allow the
- re-construction of these attributes.
-
- To re-build the EAs, you must do the following:
- 1. Under DOS or OS/2, copy the driver files to a newly formatted floppy
- diskette.
- 2. If you are not already running OS/2, Boot OS/2 on your workstation.
- 3. Switch to an OS/2 Full Screen or Windowed command prompt.
- 4. Change drive to the floppy diskette containing the driver files
- (A: or B:).
- 5. Run the OS/2 batch file RESETEA.CMD by typing:
-
- RESETEA
-
- at the OS/2 command prompt
- 6. The RESETEA batch file will run the OS/2 command EAUTIL to restore
- the Extended Attributes from .EA files provided on your release disk.
- If the command fails, make sure that EAUTIL is present in your OS/2
- PATH. (Your OS/2 user documentation will tell you how to do this).
-
-
- Installing the driver
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The installation procedure differs depending on the version of OS/2
- that you are running. Please follow the correct procedure given
- below for your version of OS/2. If you do not follow these procedures,

- may need to delete these before installing the Canon BJ-Series driver.
-

-
- IOPL=YES
-
- appears in the CONFIG.SYS file. If it does not, or if the line appears

- the file, or to correct the existing line.
