Problem

Symptoms: If the user changes some of the menu options on an IBM 4029 LaserPrinter and prints to it in PPDS mode, WP might print incorrectly. For example if the user sets the orientation to landscape on the printer, text prints in landscape even though WP formats the page to print in portrait. Solutions: WP was setting the printer to use the user default settings rather than the factory default settings, and this allowed the user to cause problems for WP. There is a way to change this so that WP will set the printer to factory defaults for the print job and then allow the user default settings to be used for other applications. This will be changed in the driver following 07/17/92. The following can be done to fix this for earlier printer drivers: 1. Enter the PTR Program 2. Retrieve the IBM 4029 LaserPrinter driver 3. Highlight the printer name, and press Enter 4. Go to Initialize and Reset, and press Enter 5. Go to Initialize at Start of Print Job, and press Enter to move to the Expression side 6. Press Ctrl-Enter to edit 7. The string of codes looks like this: [0,27,91,75,4,0,0,49,1,164] [27,91,70,5,0,0,0,0,0]SENDLO(COPIES) dif Change it to look like this: [0,27,91,75,4,0,4,49,1,164] [27,91,70,5,0,0,0,0,0]SENDLO(COPIES) dif 8. Exit, save, and update the .PRS file in WP if the changes were made to the .ALL file (Shift-F7, S, 7)
