  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

If you upgrade from Microsoft Windows versions 3.1 or 3.11 to Windows for Workgroups version 3.1, some printer device settings may not be retained.

As a general rule, Microsoft recommends that customers reset their printer device mode settings with the Control Panel. To do this, choose the Printers icon and then choose the Setup button.

  1. Run Control Panel.


  2. Choose the Printers icon.
