HP Laserjet 4L and Trakker 250
Andy Hill
: Anyone from HP or CMS care to comment on this one?
:
Well, considering that CMS is HP these days, I guess that narrows down
who should respond...
: I downloaded the latest drivrers for the laserjet from HP's ftp server.
: I have installed them according to the directions in the file, and it
: seems to work now, except that all of windows locks up after using the
: tape. Doesn't even respond to <cntl><alt><del>.
:
Isn't the Trakker a parallel-port backup? If that's the case, I have a
feeling that the bidirectional communications stuff is getting confused.
Probably should disable the LaserJet Status Window (check the installation
disks for a DEINSTALL program).

I am not quick to blame the trakker, I am quick to blame HP as they have
been releasing inferior drivers, and giving non-existant technical
support for some time.

: there is a known bug in the 4L drivers that come with the printer.
: I did as suggested and called HP to get the new drivers, and that

: The drivers are Version 1.35, and work for all Laserjet 4 printers.
: I believe the HP number I called was 208-323-2551.
: Good luck.
