- JetPilot 2.3
- ============
- 14. June 1996
-
- JetPilot is the solution for most printing problems. It
- allows to use the inexpensive BubbleJet printers as well
- as a selection of the most popular laser printers.
- No need for slow or expensive PostScript printers, just
- use any supported standard printer.
- But even for PS printers it is a speed improvement.
-
- SPECIAL: Now includes an enhanced driver for the NeXT laser.
-
- THE PACKAGE
- ===========
- JetPilot.2.3.NIHS.b.tar.gz Quad FAT Package
- JetPilot.2.3.NI.b.tar.gz NeXT and Intel architecture only
- JetPilot.2.3.HS.b.tar.gz HP-PA RISC and SUN SPARC architecture only
-
- Contents:
- ./Documents/ directory with several notes
- ./JetPilotDriver.2.3.pkg the driver package
- ./JetPilotManager.2.3.pkg manager software package
-
-
- FIXED IN 2.3
- ================
- • Printing on some of the newer Epson printers like the StylusXLPro got wrong
- paper settings and caused strange behavior, like additionals paperfeeds.
- • BugFix in the StylusColorDriver. Printing with error diffusion
- and 720dpi and a splitting threshold like 4 and 8 could causes a
- PostScript error.
- • Printing with enabled page splitting could render splits with different
- printing settings.
- • If JetPilot should print on different printer types via the same comm class,
- it sometimes works just for the first one printer. The only workaround was
- rebooting the system.
- • Wrong settings for the older LaserJet Printers like LaserJet II and III.
- Printouts looked damaged.
- • Some printer defaults couldnˋt be saved from JetPilotManager.
- • If pagesplitting is enabled, sometimes local printing of documents with 10
- or more pages could stop after a few pages.
-
- NEW IN 2.3
- ================
- • new HP LaserJets 5, 5L, 5M, 5P, 5N, 5MP, 5Si and 5SiMX added.
- • new HP DeskJets 820C and 680C added.
- • Epson StylusColor IIs, LQ150 and LQ300 added.
- • NeXT Laser Printer added.
- • Nice level added to control system performance.
- • Added a IPCFile comm class to the driver, which enables to print to a file
- instead to a printer. The file includes all printer settings for the
- specifiied printer.
- • Enhanced the ipc comm classes for debuging purpose. There is a verbose mode
- which can be enabled via PrinterManager. This feature is just for the case
- you ran into problems.
-
-
- SUPPORTED PRINTERS
