Problem

Solutions: There are several different printers that have the same .PRS filenames. Some of them are the Panasonic KX-P4450 and Panasonic KX-P4450i, the HP LaserJet IID (PS) and HP LaserJet III (PS), and the HP LaserJet IIISi (Add) and HP LaserJet IIID (Add). This occurs because of the algorithm in WP that names .PRS files. It will take a certain amount of letters from various parts of the printer name to make the .PRS filename. An example of how one customer solved the problem of trying to select two different printers with the same .PRS filename is as follows: When selecting a printer, such as the HP LaserJet IIISi Additional and the customer has already selected the HP LaserJet IIISi driver, the customer can simply change the name of the .PRS file upon selecting the driver. The steps to do this are as follows: 1. Press Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), 2 (Additional Printers), highlight the printer name, and then press 1 (Select). 2. The .PRS filename for the printer driver will appear. Before pressing Enter to accept the printer driver, simply change the name of the .PRS file. For example, the HP LaserJet IIISi Additional driver could have a .PRS filename of HPIIISAD.PRS.
