- Anyone installed WP4W 5.2 on 2.1 beta? I cannot choose those windoze printer
- drivers. Whenever I choose one of them, it says "Invalid printer file."
- When I choose "Update," the message is something like "WIN2WRS.EXE causes
- a GP fault" or "Division by zero," etc. My understanding (maybe wrong) is
- that when a windoze printer driver is chosen, the WIN2WRS.EXE in \WPWIN
- will make a .WRS file from the .DRV file in ..\WINOS2\SYSTEM for the printer.
- WP4W 5.1 can do this flawlessly, but 5.2 can't.
-
- I still remember someone said that WP4W 5.2 was even OS/2 aware, etc., etc.
- That's one of the reason that we got the upgrade. Such claims seem to be
- misleading, since my experience tells me that even the installation was full
- of trouble. The ATM 2.5 was quite OK, but both 5.2 itself and Grammatik 5
- caused trouble during their installations. It was the fifth time that I
- finally get the Grammatik installed completely, the other tries always being
- dead during the processes.
-
- The Fax/PM driver can be chosen and works correctly.
