Manual Feed Selection Not Working in the QMS PS2200 (85639)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1

This article was previously published under Q85639

SYMPTOMS

The Manual Feed selection for the QMS PS2200 (using the Q2200510.WPD, dated 3/10/92, and PSCRIPT.DRV versions 3.5 and 3.51 drivers) does not function in Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1. It will output blank sheets of paper.

WORKAROUND

When you want to use manual feed paper, use a different PostScript printer that has a similar feature set, such as the Apple LaserWriter IINT.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Windows version 3.1 Q2200510.WPD driver dated 3/10/92. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

When you select most of the PostScript printers that come with Windows 3.1, you are actually installing two files. The first file is PSCRIPT.DRV, which is the PostScript driver. The second is a Windows printer definition file (.WPD) that further defines the PostScript driver with usable features such as paper sizes and sources.
