"I always get the LOAD LETTER error.
Whether I set the paper size to A4 or LETTER at the
HPLJ4SI's console, I am always prompt to LOAD LETTER
whenever I dispatch a print job (under Win31). I have to
hit the printer's CONTINUE button before the print job
can start. This will "hang" down there putting all the
subsequent print jobs on hold indefinately.

"LOAD LETTER means that the printer currently contains A4 paper (or it
has detected the paper is in an A4 tray) and your application has
asked for Letter paper (as you have noticed). I don't see the problem,"

There is a "problem" which I have witnessed many times under Windows
applicatuons.
Documents sometimes default to "Letter" if prepared by one user who's using
one
printer driver (eg Dataproducts) and sends it to someone else who is using a
different printer driver (eg. HP). This often happens when documents are
exchanged via eMail,

It always pays to check page settings in your Windows application before
printing if you got the document from elsewhere.... This is especially a
problem with MS Word (all versions).
