We have a situation that I'm hoping others can help with.
We have a PS/2 model 70 running OS/2 EE 1.2 and which is
hooked up to a mainframe using Communications manager and
a token ring card. Mainframe connectivity is no problem.
The problem comes when trying to do screen prints.
The printer is an HP ThinkJet printer (single colour ink jet printer).
When one does a screen print, every other line is split with a line
of white space. Very difficult to read.
The problem? Calling HP to ask for a printer driver came up with the
response that we needed to contact our software company to get them to
provide the proper driver for the HP printer.
Calling the vendor (IBM, since it is communications manager portion of the
operating system) revealed that they don't have drivers for all printers
and that we should contact HP to get a driver which will work for the
OS/2 CM. Right. Can you say, 'finger pointing'?
How can you help? Does anyone have this configuration (OS/2 and an HP
ThinkJet printer) who has seen and overcome this problem? Does anyone
know what the HP ThinkJet will emulate exactly? Epson LX? FX? LQ?
E-mail to me or post. I read both.
