SYMPTOMS
When you print the contents of Device Manager to a file, the file does not
contain readable information.
CAUSE
By default, Windows 95 does not support printing Device Manager
information to a text file. When Windows 95 prints Device Manager
information to a file, it uses printer-specific language instead of
plain text.
RESOLUTION
To print Device Manager information to a readable text file, install and
use the Generic/Text Only printer. To install the Generic/Text Only
printer, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
- Double-click the Add Printer icon.
- Click the Next button.
- When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer?"
click the Local Printer option button, and then click Next.
- In the Manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click
Generic/Text Only, and then click Next.
- In the Available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
- When you are prompted "Do you want your Windows-based programs to
use this printer as the default printer?" click the No option button,
and then click Next.
- When you are prompted "Would you like to print a test page?" click the
No option button, and then click the Finish button.
