WINDOWS NT 3.5 SUPPORT FOR HP LASERJET PRINTERS OVERVIEW With the shipment of Windows NT 3.5, the target market for Windows NT continues to be the network server environment and high-end desktop users. Microsoft continues to develop and support NT drivers for HP LaserJet Printers with HP assistance. HP will concentrate efforts on providing drivers and printing system components for Windows 3.1/3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 users and clients. HP and Microsoft are working together to develop and support JetDirect products in Windows NT (3.1 and 3.5). The newest version of Windows NT (3.5) has a number of Microsoft written universal drivers for HP LaserJet Printers including support up through Enhanced PCL5 and PostScript. These drivers are listed below. Windows NT 3.5 also has a number of HP written components that will make printing to an HP JetDirect attached printer easier. These components include the HP Port Monitor for Windows NT (loaded automatically with the DLC stack) which gives support for configuring and printing to HP JetDirect printers on an NT network. Note: Since the LaserJet printer drivers in Windows NT 3.5 are developed and supported by Microsoft, HP personnel cannot accept responsibility for handling issues regarding performance of the driver and Windows NT 3.5. A. Driver availability questions should be addressed to Microsoft. Microsoft Technical Support phone numbers are listed immediately below. B. Microsoft Electronic Services are listed below to help you obtain new drivers and updates from Microsoft. C. Operating system and driver issues should be addressed to Microsoft Technical Support. D. Printer product issues should be addressed to Hewlett-Packard. E. JetDirect questions regarding Windows NT 3.5 compatibility and support should be directed to either HP or Microsoft. F. Application issues should be addressed to the appropriate vendor.
