I just replied to Matthias privately and then I read this note. I received a postcard in my box with my LaserJet 4. I filled in all the correct boxes and I received yesterday the Windows 3.0/3.1 drivers along with drivers for Lotus 1-2-3 and Word Perfect 5.1 Windows part number- HPB-13025/3 Lotus/WPerfect #- HPB-15015/3 These are 3.5" diskettes so that's probably what the "/3" is for. That's the size I asked for on the postcard. Finally, I got a whole box of free technical manuals by returning another card supplied with the printer. Check with your dealer or HP. Maybe it's a domestic thing... By the way, I am having a small problem with my printer. It feeds two or three pages stuck together about every other page. Are you having problems like this? Any ideas? I am going to go out tomorrow and buy some different paper. One of the manuals I got was a paper specification document.... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gantt Edmiston - SysAdmin o |If you always do what you have always done, SAS Institute Inc. <( |you'll always get what you've always gotten!
