For best results, create a temporary directory on your hard drive and
UNZIP LJOS2.ZIP in that directory.  This step can be done while in DOS.
If you have an OS/2 PKUNZIP utility, this procedure can be done in OS/2.  
Boot to OS/2 and run the executable file SETEAS from the temporary 
directory.  This MUST be performed from an OS/2 prompt.  This will
continue to decompress other files, create sub-directories, and will
set the OS/2 extended attributes for the files in the directory.

The driver can be installed from either the temporary directory or
a floppy disk.

To create an OS/2 driver installation floppy, copy the UNZIPed files in 
the temporary directory to a high density floppy.

II.  PRE-INSTALLATION
---------------------

Before installing this new PCL 5 printer driver, check the following:

NOTE:  
    It is very important to delete the printer driver if your previous
    version of the PCL 5 printer driver is 1.31B or below.  If you have
    this version and you install the new version of the driver, the
    result will be two PCL 5 printer drivers installed.
   
1.  Have you installed a previous version of the LASERJET
    driver?  If so, follow Steps A, B, C, and D, below.

2.  Have any other printer drivers been installed that will 
    NOT be used in OS/2?  If so, follow Steps B, C, and D below.

    Note: The IBM 42XX printer driver is automatically
    installed with OS/2.  If you do NOT have an IBM printer,
    be sure to delete it.  Follow Steps B, C, and D below.

Otherwise, skip to part III. Installation.


STEP A.  Delete unused or old printers:

OS/2 v 1.21, 1.3X

1.  Select the Print Manager.  (printer icon)
2.  Choose "Setup".
3.  Choose "Printers".

    For each printer not needed:  Highlight the printer;
    choose "Delete";  choose "Yes".

4.  Choose "OK".  You will be returned to the Print Manager.


Delete associated printer queues:

1.  Choose "Setup" at the Print Manager.
2.  Choose "Queues".
3.  For each printer deleted in Step B, delete its associated
    queue(s):  Highlight the queue; choose "Delete"; choose "Yes".

4.  Choose "OK".  You will be returned the Print Manager.
5.  Minimize the Print Manager.


STEP B.  Delete unused or old printer drivers

1.  Change to the Group - Utilities.
2.  Select the Control Panel.
3.  Select the "Installation" menu.
4.  Select "Delete printer drivers..."
5.  For each printer deleted, delete its associated
    printer driver:  Highlight the printer driver; choose "Delete";
    choose "Yes", choose "Yes".

    At this point, one of the following will happen:

    5a)  If the focus is returned to the Control Panel and there
         are no more printer drivers to be deleted, exit the Control 
         Panel and proceed to part III. Installation.

    5b)  If the focus is returned to the Control Panel and there
         are more printer drivers to be deleted, repeat steps 3, 
         4, and 5 for each printer driver to be deleted.

    5c)  If a message appears: "The device driver has been deleted.  
         Cannot delete the associated printer driver file because 
         you have installed other printer device drivers from it.",
         choose "Cancel" and repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for each 
         printer driver to be deleted.  It there are no other 
         printer drivers to be deleted, exit the Control Panel, 
         and proceed to part III. Installation.

    5d)  If a warning message appears: "Cannot delete the printer
         device driver because it is associated with one or more
         printers.  Remove the printer associations, then retry.",
         choose "Cancel"; choose "Cancel"; choose "Cancel"; repeat
         steps A and B.
         
    5e)  If a warning message appears: "Cannot delete the printer
         driver because a program may be using the file, the file
         may be read-only or the disk may be write-protected",
         choose "Cancel"; choose "Cancel"; choose "Cancel"; shutdown
         the computer and repeat Step B.

For OS/2 v 2.x

1.  Refer to the Master Help Index.  Click on the "Search Topics..." button
    and search for "delete printer driver".  Follow the instructions
    under "Deleting (printer or plotter) device drivers" and "Deleting
    printer object".

    

III. INSTALLATION
-----------------

1.  Modify CONFIG.SYS

    In your root directory check that the line

        IOPL=YES

    appears in the CONFIG.SYS file. If it does not, use an
    editor (such as the OS/2 System Editor) to add it anywhere in
    the file.  To use the OS/2 System Editor change to Group - Main
    and select the OS/2 System Editor.  If CONFIG.SYS is modified,
    it is necessary to reboot the system before continuing.

OS/2 v 1.21, 1.3X - Using the Printer Installer

    If you are running OS/2 version 1.21, start the Printer 
    Installer by changing to the Group - Utilities, and selecting
    Printer Installer. 

    If you are running OS/2 version 1.3, start the Printer Installer
    by selecting the Print Manager, then selecting Setup, then 
    Printer install...

    For more help on the Printer Installer, select the Help button
    or in the "Help Index", select the Printer Installer

OS/2 v 2.x
  
    Installation instructions are provided in the OS/2 Master Help Index.
    Open the Master Help Index, scroll to the P tab, and scroll to the
    Printing topics.  Select "Installing a printer or a plotter".  Or,
    click on the "Search Topics..." button and search for "installing

V. FONT INSTALLATION HINTS
--------------------------

This release of the HP PCL 5 Driver supports all resident printer
fonts, as well as scalable and bitmapped external cartridge fonts and
soft fonts.

All soft fonts and disk-based scalable typefaces must be installed
through this driver's Font Installer.  Additionally the Font
Installer must be used for any new cartridges that were not available
when this driver was released.  

The LaserJet Font Installer is accessed from the Print Manager in OS/2
versions 1.21 and 1.3X (Setup...Printers...Change...Printer Properties...
Fonts...) and through the Print Object in OS/2 version 2.x (Open the settings
on the print object, then click with the right mouse button on the default
driver, and select Open...Settings...Fonts) Use the Font Installer to 
install cartridges, soft fonts, and disk-based scalable typefaces

Note:  If you have cartridge fonts that were not included
       with this driver or scalable disk based typefaces 
       that need to be installed, you will need the 
       corresponding AutoFont Support files that were
       shipped with your HP font/typeface product to tell
       the driver about the specifics of your fonts.



CARTRIDGES:

To activate a cartridge that was installed by the Printer Installer,
simply select its name from the "Active Cartridge" list box in the
Printer Properties dialog box.  You may select up to two(2) cartridges
since there are only two cartridge slots in your printer.

To install a cartridge that was NOT installed by the Printer
Installer or included on the driver diskette, insert the disk which
contains the AutoFont Support Files into the disk drive, or run the
AutoFont Installer ( must be run in a Dos Box ).

Type the directory name containing the AutoFont Support files 
(e.g. C:\AUTOFONT or A:\). in the New Font Directory" box of the 
Font Installer.  Select the cartridge name from the 
"New cartridge fonts" list box.  Choose "Add".

After you have installed cartridge font(s) using the Font Installer,
they will appear in the Cartridge list box of the Printer Properties
dialog box.  From this dialog you can select up to two cartridges from
the list.  This tells the printer driver which cartridge(s) you have
installed in your printer.

Note:  Please note that the HP Z1A cartridge is now simply
       called the MICROSOFT cartridge.


SYMBOL SET SUPPORT FOR CARTRIDGES:

The following symbol sets, if originally contained in a cartridge,
are always automatically supported when a cartridge is installed:

           ASCII
           Roman 8
           PC-8     (equivalent to code page 437)
           PC-8 D/N (equivalent to code page 437N)
           PC-850   (equivalent to code page 850)
           DeskTop
           ECMA-94 Latin 1
           ECMA-128 Latin 5
           Windows
           Ventura International
           Ventura US
           Roman Extension
           OEM-1
           ISO  2:  International #2
           ISO  4:  UK ISO
           ISO 10:  Swedish
           ISO 11:  Swedish
           ISO 14:  JIS ASCII
           ISO 15:  Italian
           ISO 16:  Portugese
           ISO 17:  Spanish
           ISO 21:  German
           ISO 25:  French
           ISO 57:  Chinese
           ISO 60:  Danish/Norwegian
           ISO 61:  Norwegian V2
           ISO 69:  French
           ISO 84:  Portugese
           ISO 85:  Spanish
           HP German
           HP Spanish


However, additional "extended" symbol sets, if originally 
contained in a cartridge, can be obtained.  Symbol sets
are considered "extended" if they are not contained in 
the list above.  If "extended" symbols sets are desired, 
the corresponding AutoFont Support files that were shipped 
with your HP cartridge will be needed. 

To get "extended" symbol set support, follow these steps:

1. If you have not already done so, you must first run the 
   AutoFont Support utility that was included with your HP
   cartridge. (This may be done in the DOS compatibility box,
   but if problems occur; boot your system with DOS and then 
   try again.) 

2. Enter the Font Installer.

3. Delete the cartridge (if previously installed) and type
   in the correct directory containing the AutoFont Support
   files (e.g. C:\AUTOFONT) in the "New Font Directory" box.

4. Click on "Open".

5. Check the "Extended symbol sets for cartridges" check box, 
   and click on "Add".

   If the cartridge has symbol sets other than those listed
   above, a new dialog box will appear which allows you to
   select which typefaces and "extended" symbol sets should be
   installed.

   These fonts will be installed in addition to any fonts with
   the above automatically supported symbol sets.

6. After all desired typefaces and "extended" symbol sets have
   been selected,  click on "OK".


Note:  Refer to your LaserJet printer user's manual for
       tables showing the exact location of characters
       within symbol sets.  To print characters within
       "extended" symbol sets, locate the character code 
       number of the symbol you want using the symbol set 
       charts in your manual, hold down the [Alt] key, 
       type in the ASCII character code using your computer's 
       NUMERIC keypad, then release the [Alt] key (the screen
       character displayed will not necessarily match the
       printed character).  It may be necessary to set the 
       [NumLock] key in some applications.


BITMAPPED SOFT FONTS:

To install bitmapped soft fonts, simply type in the name of the
directory containing the soft fonts (.SFP or .SFL files).  Select the soft
font names.  Choose "Add".


DISK-BASED SCALABLE TYPEFACES:

All disk-based scalable typefaces are sold with corresponding
AutoFont Support files.  If you have not already done so, you must
run the AutoFont Support Installation program (or Type Director 2.0)
prior to installing the typefaces into this driver.  (This may be
done from the DOS compatibility box, but if problems occur; boot your
computer in DOS and try again.)

To install these typefaces,  type the name of the directory containing
the ready to download disk based scalable typefaces (.SFS files
usually in the \TD\FONTS directory) in "New font directory".  Select
the typefaces under "New Soft Fonts".  Choose "Add".



SYMBOL SET SUPPORT FOR BITMAPPED SOFT FONTS AND SCALABLE TYPEFACES:

Bitmapped soft fonts and disk-based scalable typefaces may be supported
in ALL symbol sets. However, only one symbol set is supported per soft
font or scalable typeface at any one time.  For instance, if you needed
the soft font, CG Century Schoolbook in both the Math-8 and PC 850 symbol 
sets, in would be necessary to install both fonts, therefore, creating 
two separate entries in the font installer.

The one exception to the previous rule are unbound scalable typefaces.
Unbound scalable typefaces are installed through the font installer 
the same as regular scalable typefaces, however, they are not bound to 
a particular symbol set.  For instance, an entry for an unbound scalable 
typeface would appear as follows:

    CG Century Schoolbook Scalable (Unbound - P&L)


Once unbound scalable typefaces have been installed through the
font installer, the following symbol sets are automatically supported:

         Roman-8                
         PC-850                 
         PC-8                   
         PC-8 Danish/Norwegian  
         ECMA-94 Latin 1        
         Desktop                
         Windows                
         Ventura International  
         Ventura US             

Note that unbound scalable typefaces are only supported on the 
LaserJet IIIP, LaserJet 4, and LaserJet 4M.  For more information 
regarding unbound scalable typefaces, refer to the printer manuals.



LANDSCAPE FONTS:

The PCL 5 printers and the LaserJet IID have the ability to
automatically rotate all fonts available to the printer (internal &
external).  For this reason, fonts are not differentiated with
respect to orientation and are only displayed once in the Font
Installer, even though they may be available in both portrait AND
landscape versions.



VI. TROUBLE-SHOOTING
---------------

Listed below are some trouble-shooting tips which may be applicable to
any problems encountered with version 1.3.413C of the Hewlett-Packard
PCL 5 printer driver:

1.  If during installation, it appears to have read the disk for
    only a moment and then returns to the Printer Installer or Install
    New Printer Driver screen, there are two probable causes:

       a) The Extended Attributes on your driver file have been corrupted.
       These attributes give information to the installer about
       other files which are needed by the .DRV file.  
       If the disk you are installing from is a copy, try
       the originial.  Otherwise, obtain a new driver and try again.

       b) The statement IOPL=YES cannot be found in the Config.sys file.
       Enter this line into your Config.Sys file and re-boot the system.

2.  Serial Interface:

      This driver is only supported on serial ports 1 (COM1:)
      and port 2 (COM2:).  You must have the com driver loaded after
      any mouse drivers in your config.sys file.  For ISA or EISA computers,
      use DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM01.SYS, for microchannel use 
      DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM02.SYS, or for OS/2 v 2.x use DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS.
      (If you had to add this line, you will need to reboot before printing.)
      You must set the communication settings for your COM port in the OS/2
      Control Panel (on the utilities menu).  Start the Control Panel.
      Select "Options".  Select "Communications Port..."  Select the port
      your printer is connected to.  For "Baud rate" enter "9600".  For
      "Word length" select "8".  For "Parity" select "none".  For "Stop
      bits" select "1".  For "Handshake" select "Hardware".  Choose "Set".
      Close the Control Panel.  You must also select the serial interface
      setting on the control panel of your LaserJet.  See your User's Guide
      for information on setting the interface.

      NOTE: The following ports are supported: LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, 
                                               COM1, COM2, COM3
3.  User Defined Forms:

      This item is very useful when printing with the Automatic Mixed
      option in the Job Properties.

      When printing with different sized papers (Letter, Legal, A4, ...)
      the form name must be selected in the Printer Properties dialog box
      or the print job will wait in the queue.  This will give you the
      ability to queue up jobs for which you do not have the form in the
      printer yet. 
      
      The User-defined Forms option allows a pre-defined paper size to be
      associated with a user-defined name.  For instance, Letter size paper
      with a company logo could be named "Letter Head" and associated with
      Letter size paper.  In this case, when printing with "Letter Head",
      the job will wait in the queue until "Letter Head" is selected in the
      Printer Properties dialog box.
    
      Therefore if you are printing over a network and using user-defined
      forms, it is nescessary to define the form name on both the client
      and server sides.  


4.  Presentation Application Driver

    The Hewlett-Packard OS/2 PM PCL printer driver is only a Presentation
    Manager application driver.  Applications which support the PM windowing
    and PM API's have direct access to the Job Properties dialog box.  If
    the application does not provide access to this dialog, then it is most
    likely not a PM app, and therefore will not use any special 
    characteristics of the printer such as fonts or orientation.

5.  "Printer Jammed" error

    This generally indicates a communication problem.  Causes can include:
    timing out, using a non-PM application which has a problem, a problem
    with the cable, problems with other PM drivers installed, or
    a problem with the network ( if applicable ).

6.  Job stays in Q or disappears

    Possible Causes:
     a) Not enough storage on the swapping drive.  There should be
        at least 5 megabytes of contiguous space available.

     b) Mis-match of form types.  The form size which is selected in
        the Job Properties dialog must match a form size selected in
        a particular tray in the Printer Properties dialog.

     c) Old PM drivers.  Delete all drivers and re-install.  See the
        Installation procedure at the top of this document
 
     d) Having one printer selected on a client (or workstation ) and
        a different printer selected on the server.  The model of the
        printers ( i.e. LaserJet IIISi ) must be the same on the
        workstation and the server.  If you have a need for more than
        one printer, install multiple printers with different queues.

     e) There is a problem with creating the metafile.  In OS/2 v 2.x,
        select the option for Printer Specific Format in the Queue Options.

7.  To improve the speed of printing

     a) Ensure that device fonts are in use.  A device font is much faster
        than an ATM font.  If it is necessary to use ATM fonts, ensure that
        the "Fast System Fonts" in the Job Properties is enabled.  This will
        allow ATM fonts to be printed much faster.
    
     b) Use the HP-GL/2 option.  This option should be used if you are
        printing line-art type graphics.  This option can always be selected,
        however best performance from the printer and driver will occur 
        if you have enough memory to enable the page protection.  Ensure
        the page protection is set on the front panel of the printer.

NOTE:
        This driver is tuned for performance with the later versions of
        the OS/2 32 bit graphics engine.  Slower performance may occur
        with the OS/2 2.0 Service Pak.  To avoid these problems, print with
        HP-GL/2 when possible, or use the OS/2 PCL driver which shipped
        with the OS/2.0 service pak.        

8.  Printing at < 600 DPI not always working
    solution: Use a LJ III printer and driver

9.  Graphics output not correct
    solution: Turn off the HPGL/2 flag in the Job Properties Dialog
    or use a LaserJet III printer and driver ( with HPGL/2 on or off)

NOTE:
    Please report any problems with 600 DPI or HP-GL/2 graphics to the
    Customer Support Center at 208 396-2551.

10. Print Overrun Error ( Error 21 )
    If printing a complex HP-GL/2 image, this error may occur.
    Turn off the HP-GL/2 flag in the Job Properties, or set
    Page Protect ON from the control panel of the printer, and
    add additional memory.

NOTE:
    Printer memory, page complexity and page protection interact
    with varying output speed and quality.  For fastest output set
    page protection ON ( This may require additional memory ) and
    use HP-GL/2.

12. Out of Memory Error ( Error 20 )
    To avoid this error, switch to HP-GL/2 when possible.

NOTE:
    Not all graphic images can print using the HP-GL/2 setting.
    If printed graphic images are different than they appear on
    your computer screen or previous output, change your
    HP-GL/2 setting to OFF and make the appropriate changes
    to Page Protection if needed.
