-> Since a few days, I have a new printer: A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet
-> 6P (600 dpi/PCL 6). It's a nice machine, but the printer comes only
-> with printer drivers for Windows and I need a printer driver for *WP
-> 5.1-DOS* (and one for *Presentations 2.0-DOS* too)!
->
-> Hewlett-Packard has no DOS-drivers and they told me, to write my
-> problem to COREL-WordPerfect; but COREL too could not help me and
-> said to me, there only exists a driver for WP 6.0x...
->
-> So, my question: Is there anybody, who can help me? I know that the
-> printer can be used with a driver for the LaserJet 5P (600 dpi but
-> only PCL 5), but I'm looking for a driver, which uses all features
-> of the LaserJet 6P (i.e. PCL 6)...
Very good question! I use WP 5.1 all the time, and it works pretty
good with my Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 4P. On the other hand, I did run
into problems with the italicized umlaut lowercase /u/... They forgot
to line up the dots close enough to the /u/. (Argh! Grrr!)
How is the HP 6P different from the 4P, short of dots per inch? Do you
have the Programmer's Guide for the 6P?
Although I can't answer your question per se, I do look forward to
seeing how the question gets answered. A friend of mine is picking up
an HP 6P in the next few weeks. He won't be running into your problem,
though, as he uses Windows all the time. (Hard to imagine how he will
write the All American Great Story using a mouse and icons, though...
He has a heck of a time figuring out where the keys on the keyboard
are...)
