Missing Printers on SETUP.INF on 3.5-Inch Disk in Windows 3.0

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

The following printers are listed on SETUP.INF on the 5.25-inch Setup Disk; however, they are not listed on SETUP.INF on the 3.5-inch Setup Disk:

   NEC PinWriter P6
   NEC PinWriter P7
   NEC PinWriter P2200
   NEC PinWriter P5200
   NEC Silentwriter LC 860 [PCL / HP LaserJet]
   NEC Silentwriter LC 860 Plus [PCL / HP LaserJet]

One workaround for this problem is to install for the P5300 because the printers above share the same driver; then, configure for the correct printer in the Printer Setup of the Control Panel. For the LC 860 printers, it is necessary to install for the PCL/HP LaserJet driver.
