Version 2.40 has been updated from previous versions to support
Microsoft's new Windows 95 Operating System (in addition to Windows 3.1

support bi-directional communication in Windows 3.1/3.11 Netware clients.
See the "Bi-directional..." paragragh in the USER HINTS section of this
README. The printer driver name in Windows will be "HP LaserJet
5Si/5SiMX".
For additional information on the printer features and driver features,

************************************************************************
BEFORE YOU INSTALL!
************************************************************************
- Close all applications and TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)programs
that load at startup (in Windows or DOS) such as virus checkers, fax
utilities, etc., and all other applications that may be open.
- Close any shell utilities such as: Microsoft Office Manager, Norton
Desktop, Dashboard, etc.
- Exit any previous version of HP Status Window that may be running.
These precautions help ensure a smooth installation. After installing
the HP LaserJet Printer Driver, you can turn these programs back on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINT regarding closing applications:
In Windows 95, click on the respective icon(s) in the "Taskbar" and then
close any applications that may be open.
In Windows 3.1/3.11, simultaneously press [Ctrl] and [Esc] to launch the
"Task List" window. In it select each application, except Program
Manager, and click on "End Task" to close it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINT regarding closing shell utilities:
In order to close some shell utilities you may need to refer to the documentation provided with that utility if you need more assistance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINT #1 regarding file sharing violation messages:
If some applications are loaded via Windows "startup", you may continue to receive file sharing violation messages during driver installation.
It may be necessary to reboot without any applications or utilities
automatically loaded by "startup". See your Windows documentation on the
"startup" to disable these applications during driver installation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINT #2 regarding file sharing violation messages:
If an application has used an older version of this driver in the
same session, i.e. without rebooting Windows, you may receive a file
sharing violation message. When Windows uses a driver, many of the files
used are locked to prevent overwriting them. The options below are
provided for your assistance.
1. Close the application and reboot Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
2. Windows 3.1 - Use Control Panel and delete old driver. You can then
try to install the driver.
3. Windows 95 - 1. Click on "Start | Settings | Printers". Select
and delete the driver. Reboot Windows 95.

Bi-directional communication for Windows 3.1 or 3.11 Netware Clients
If you are a Windows 3.1 or 3.11 Netware client, bi-directional
communication is available when the printer is connected to a Novell
Netware network by an HP JetDirect Print Server or a Novell Netware NLM
for HP LaserJet printers. You need to obtain and install JetAdmin for
Netware version A.02.11 which currently can be found in the Network
Connectivity section of Access HP. Select Software and Support, Network
Connectivity, HP JetAdmin Software for Netware, version A.02.11. If the
printer is not connected to a JetDirect card, the HP Print Server NLM for
Netware is now available in the same location. See the HOW TO OBTAIN
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM HP SERVICES for additional assistance.
