The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for MS-DOS, versions 2.x and 3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Microsoft Works for MS-DOS does not ship with direct support for the
Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4L printer. According to Hewlett-Packard
(HP), support for the LaserJet 4L in Works 3.0 for MS-DOS is provided by
drivers available from HP via the following sources:
 
 - HP Distribution: (303) 339-7009
 
 - CompuServe: type: GO HPPER
 
 - HP's BBS: (208) 344-1691
   8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
   300-14,400 bps
 
 - Internet
 
HP LaserJet 4L Emulations
-------------------------
 
According to the "HP LaserJet 4L Printer User's Manual," the 4L emulates
the LaserJet 4 and LaserJet III/IIIP printers. These printers are supported
in Works 3.0 by the printer drivers HP4.PRD and HP3.PRD, which are included
on shipped disks. In Works 2.0, the LaserJet III is supported by
HP3UPD.PRD, which is available on the Microsoft Works Conversion and
Supplemental Setup Kit #1.
 
Microsoft has not tested these emulations and therefore cannot
guarantee their results.
 
To obtain the supplemental kit, call Microsoft Sales Information Center at
(800)
426-9400 and request the Microsoft Works Conversion and Supplemental
Setup Kit #1 for Works version 2.0. If you call from outside the
United States, call Microsoft International Sales Information Center at
(425) 936-8661.
 
Font Support
------------
 
When using the LaserJet 4 driver (HP4.PRD) shipped with Works 3.0, you
should be able to print all of the fonts resident in the LaserJet 4L.
However, there are fonts listed in this driver that are not available in
the LaserJet 4L and will not print correctly. These fonts will most likely
default to Univers. To correct this problem, obtain the LaserJet 4L driver
from Hewlett-Packard.
 
Fonts Available in the LaserJet 4L
