I am wondering whether anyone has faced this problem before and how it was
solved.

I hv a workstation with Win98 running on a Novell Netware 3.12 network
(assortment of workstations running DOS 6.22, Win95 & Win98). The HP
Laserjet 4+ is attached to another workstation (DOS 6.22 & Windows for
Workgroup) to serve as a network printer.

Everytime I try to print from this Win98 workstation, nothing will be
printed out. And on the HP Laserjet 4+ display, the message "W2 Invalid
Pers" appears.

Looking thru HP's manual, all I found was this:-

"The job was not printed because you requested a personality (printer
language) that was not installed in the printer. Install the language in
which the files are sent together with enough memory to support the language
used."

For the life of me, I don't understand what the explanation is. Can anyone
out there help pls?

Thank you and hv a pleasant day.

Eric

sounds like you're using a PostScript driver on this workstation. LJ4
Plus doesn't support PS... only PCL.

Guys,

Many thanks for your help. Based on your notes, I hv managed to solved the
problem. Yeah - the vendor who sold us the set-up installed as a PostScript
HP driver instead of the standard PCL one. Now the workstation can print
without any problem.

Thanks and hv a great weekend!

Regards,
Eric
