  • Microsoft Windows 95

SUMMARY

If you install an OEM-supplied printer driver designed for Windows version 3.x and then later reinstall Windows 95, any configuration information for that driver may be lost.

MORE INFORMATION

When you install Windows 95, Setup automatically updates any printer driver for which there is a Windows 95 driver using a default configuration. If you need to use a driver designed for version 3.x, you will have to reinstall and reconfigure it after reinstalling Windows 95.
