I posted similar frustrations I have been having with the 5L. I received an e-mail from someone who helped me out. In the WIN-OS/2 settings, under DOS_DEVICE, add C:\OS2\MDOS\LPTDD.SYS. That was all it took for me to be able to print under both WIN-OS/2 and OS/2 Warp. Also, I found the new set of HP5L drivers from an HP site (mp240en.exe) that work for OS/2 Warp and I also found the HP5L drivers for Windows (besides that 3-disk set that comes with the printer). Those two sets of drivers along with the addition in the DOS_DEVICE area worked for me. ------------------------------------------------------------ | Eric Hodges | Amateur Radio : n0zoz | | LAN Administrator | E-mail : ebhodge@ilstu.edu | | Illinois State University | Alternate : n0zoz@msn.com | ------------------------------------------------------------
