A while ago there were some postings regarding a fix for using Excel with the HP DeskJet 500. Now that I have a shiny new DJ500, I need this fix. Could someone email this fix to me? Thanx! Jim Brannon (brannon@tramp.Colorado.Edu) CADSWES University of Colorado, Boulder

Since I keep seeing postings requesting this fix, it's probably worth posting instead of mailing. In WIN.INI, look for the following line: [DJ500,LPT1] Directly beneath it, add the following line: prtresfac=0 If you do not have the line that starts "[DJ500" then you need to install the Scalable Print Driver for Windows that comes with the printer. HP Tech Support (203-323-2551) provides excellent support, including the answer to this question. -- Harvey S.

I also have experienced the EXCEL - DJ500 conflict. I thought it must just be how I set EXCEL up. Can you please also include me in the solutions mailing. (Now this is a case where a toll free support line would be applicable, but by who?) HP DJ500 was listed in an add as the only printer for Windows 3.0.
