The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYAn HP IIIsi printer that supports PostScript and PCL5 and is hooked up to a LAN Manager server that also is running LAN Manager Services for Macintosh sometimes does not complete PostScript printing jobs for the Mac. This condition can be avoided by "misinforming" OS/2 about the number of configured printers, then adding some code written by Microsoft to ensure the printer defaults to the correct setting after each job. MORE INFORMATION
The HP IIIsi driver used by Windows 3.1 workstations resets the
printer to the appropriate mode (PCL or PostScript) before beginning a
print. Some MS-DOS applications do this, too. But not all
clients--even when using the Windows 3.1 IIIsi driver--switch the
printer back to default mode after a job. Windows generates a piece of
code at the end of each job to do this, but it doesn't always work.
This means the printer sometimes is left in PCL mode, so PostScript
jobs sent to it are not printed.
