= SUMMARY =

Unusual results, such as a “Printer not ready” status or overprinting of the entire page, can occur when using the Hewlett-Packard QuietJet on anything other than 11-inch-long paper (letter size). Changing the DIP switch on the printer may not correct the problem.

To allow printing on any size paper, modify the PCSD section of the printer driver. After running MAKEPRD as described in the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” manual, search for “byte:8” (without the quotation marks) and make sure the following two lines in the printer driver file read exactly as shown:

byte:8 mod:4 magic:0 value:0 “^[&l” byte:14 mod:0 “P”

Once this modification is made, the text file can be run back through MAKEPRD and the new driver will operate properly.
