Loading the Printer Driver:

Most software lets you specify printing information. Special files, called
printer drivers, are provided with the software. A printer driver tells the
computer what information to send to the printer.

Follow the instructions for each application you use to configure the
application for the printer. See the user's manual for each application.

If you use software that lets you select any of the following printer 
drivers, you can control most printing functions through the software:

   HP LaserJet III (PCL5)
   HP LaserJet IIP
   HP LaserJet Series II
   HP LaserJet Plus
   HP LaserJet

IBM Emulation:

   IBM Proprinter XL

   EPSON FX-80+

When the buffer is full, the printer sends a busy signal to the computer. 
This might cause some software to display an error message such as Printer 
Not Ready.

To avoid this, we suggest you use your word processor or DOS text editor to
enter the following line in your computer's autoexec.bat file:
