WORKAROUNDS
Workaround 1
Switch the IBM 4029 to Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series II emulation mode, and use the HP LaserJet Series II printer driver in the Printer Setup dialog box. For more information, query on "ibm switching emulation modes" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Workaround 2
Switch the 4029 to HP emulation mode and use any of the Windows 3.1 drivers for the HP LaserJet series II. (For more information, query on ibm switching emulation modes in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.) Then, query on printing reverse video in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Use any of the workarounds this query provides.
NOTE: The workarounds provided when you query on "printing reverse video" do not work if you are using a IBM4029 driver.
Workaround 3
When using IBM4029.DRV version 3.02, 4.01, or 4.21, a printer heuristic of IBM4029.drv=+2 is necessary to correctly print custom paper sizes and envelope sizes not internal to the printer driver. For instructions on how to use this heuristic, query on "changing printer heuristics" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
To obtain the latest version of the 4029 driver, call Lexmark (IBM) Technical Support0. These drivers are also available from the Lexmark bulletin board service (BBS). The printer driver for Windows 3.0 is named 29W30_PS.EXE; the printer driver for Windows 3.0 and 3.1 is named 29W3X_PP.EXE. A README.DOC file with installation instructions is included with each driver.
IBM4029.DRV was developed and is supported by Lexmark, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
