PSS ID Number: Q63194 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.00 5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The DAT file that corresponds to the current printer driver selected in the Print Options “printer:” field must be in the same directory as the printer driver to avoid the following Word version 5.00 error message:

xxxxxxxx.DAT was not found

Similarly, Word version 5.50 will display the following error message:

A download file was not found in the search path. Insert the disk containing xxxxxxxx.DAT.

Furthermore, the DAT file must have the same filename as the printer driver to be found by Word. For example, HPDWNR8P.PRD and HPDWNR8P.DAT must both be located in the same directory.
