SYMPTOMS
When you switch between a LaserMaster WinJet 300 and a WinJet 800, you receive the following printer error message:
Other error messages are then displayed.
CAUSE
If you switch between a LaserMaster WinJet 300 and a WinJet 800 must manually edit the SYSTEM.INI file. The printer errors occur if you fail to do this.
WORKAROUND
WinJet 300
The WinJet 300 installation adds the following lines to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
device=LMLPV.386 ;WinPrint device=LMCAP.386 ;WinPrint device=LMMI.386 ;WinPrint
When you install a WinJet 300 over an existing WinJet 800, the installation process does not remove the line (device=LMHAROLD.386 ;WinPrint). You must do this manually, as follows:
- Make a backup copy of your SYSTEM.INI by copying the file to SYSTEM.BAK.
- Open the SYSTEM.INI in a text editor (NOTEPAD.EXE).
Place a semicolon in front of the device=LMHAROLD.386 line in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
The line should appear as in the sample below:[386Enh] device=LMLPV.386 ;WinPrint ;device=LMHAROLD.386 ;WinPrint device=LMCAP.386 ;WinPrint device=LMMI.386 ;WinPrint
