SYMPTOMS
If you print a banner to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4Si MX printer, using version 1.18 or version 3.78 of the printer driver, the banner prints incorrectly.
For example, if you print the Get Well Soon banner, the printer may produce only three half-pages instead of three whole pages.
This problem may also occur with the HP LaserJet 4L printer running on a system with Windows 95.
