This is my second driver to be released . This is a colour printer driver for
the 900 series of Hewlett Packard Deskjet printers in particular the 93xC
95xC,97xC and 99xC printers.

@{u}Densities@{uu}

0 150 x 150
1 150 x 150
2 150 x 150
3 300 x 300
4 300 x 300

NB: 600x300 may produce crushed output in some cases.
US LEGAL supports 14in paper, use 10in for A4 and others.

Make sure you select a lower density before printing from
a Word Processor (usually defaults to 7).

@ENDNODE
@NODE INSTAL 

@{u}Installation@{uu}

Run the Install_Driver and follow instructions, select the processor type 
(000,020 or 040) and Printer model closest to your
printer from the list given. 

If installing a new printer, run the Preferences to select the correct 
driver and set it up. See @{"Prefs" link PREFS}.

If you have Workbench 1.3, please add the following lines to your
startup-sequence:
MAKEDIR RAM:ENV
ASSIGN ENV: RAM:ENV

NB: For installation to work properly you need the RequestChoice and
RequestFile commands. The script will work around them if they are
not available.

It it says it cannot open the printer.device, then that is because the current
printer.prefs is pointing to a deleted printer driver. Press cancel if this
message appears, and remember to save your new prefs when asked.

@ENDNODE
@NODE PREFS 

@{u}Preferences@{uu}
 
1. Printer

2. PrinterGfx

   Dithering     - Floyd Steinburg for best quality or Ordering/Halftone

   Threshold     - Around 5 (use a smaller figure if too dark)
   Density       - Use whatever you fancy (use a small figure for speed
                   and less ink)
   Color Correction - Don't set, use all 4096 (12 bit) colours
   Limits        - Set to ignore
   Smoothing     - Used to smooth out lines esp. in graphic dumps of text

Further information is in your Workbench Users Guide (Ch 9) or see my web page
for info on preferences.

If you are experiencing problems with this driver send me email (see below).
You can download updates from Aminet, my web page or Amiga Format CDs.

@ENDNODE
@NODE CUSTOM

@{u}Customisation@{uu}

If you wish you can customize your driver to your language for text based
printing. The Driver defaults to ESC(1E for UK character set (ESC=1B). Use 
a binary editor (e.g. FileX) to change the above init string (5 chars) to 
another character set at around address 000017E6.

e.g.
ESC(8U = HP Roman 8
ESC(0N = Latin 1
ESC(1G = German (ISO 21)
ESC(1F = French (ISO 69)
ESC(0I = Italian (ISO 15)
ESC(2S = Spanish (ISO 17)
ESC(0S = Swedish (ISO 11)
ESC(1U = HP Legal
ESC(9T = Turkish
ESC(2N = Latin 2
ESC(5N = Latin 5
