Aptiva - Printing In WinOS2

Applicable to: United States

Subject: Fix When Printer Prints Garbage from WINOS2


1.) Get a Windows driver loaded that works from native DOS/WIN.

2.) Get a Warp driver loaded that works from an OS/2 application.

3.) While booted to Warp, bring up WINOS2 Program Manager.

4.) Select Main, Control Panel, Printers

5.) Highlight the Windows printer driver that you want as the default.

6.) Select Connect, and pick LPT1.OS2 (assuming your printer port is LPT1). It is probably set to plain LPT1, and
that is the problem.
