= SUMMARY =

The error message “Invalid PRD File” occurs in Works if an attempt is made to use a printer driver that is not in the Works directory. To solve this problem, run Setup again and load the proper driver for the printer. Then choose Print Printer Setup and select the correct printer in the Printer box.

In addition, the same error message occurs in Works version 2.00 if you are trying to use a print driver that has not been decompressed from the original Setup Disk (the .CPR file was probably copied directly into the directory). To decompress the print driver file, run Setup and select the correct printer, or with the Setup Disk in Drive A, type the following command from the A:> prompt as follows:

A:>setup   

Below is an example of using the HPLASER.CPR file for decompression:

A:>SETUP HPLASER.CPR C:.PRD
