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.



MORE INFORMATION
After the upgrade, settings for dot matrix printer drivers are reset to the defaults.

For PostScript and Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printers, most settings are retained with the exception of the previous printer memory settings, which return to the default value. To reset these values:
 * 1) Run Control Panel.
 * 2) Choose the Printers icon.
 * 3) Choose the Configure button.
 * 4) Choose the Setup button.
