HP DesignJet 5000PS/800PS Windows 95/98 driver

This ReadMe file includes last-minute information.

PROBLEMS WITH SOME DRIVER SETTINGS

If the application has the Use PPD setting activated, the
following driver settings will not work: Emulate Other Printers,
WEB Access, and Printable Area.

FREEHAND 8.0

The driver settings are not applied to the job. You are
recommended to upgrade to Freehand 8.0.1 or Freehand 9.0.

MIRROR SETTING

The driver's Mirror setting does not work with Freehand, PageMaker
6.5, QuarkExpress 4.x, or CorelDRAW.

CORELDRAW 9.0

CorelDRAW has problems printing complex images, and error messages
may appear. If you select "Continue", the image will be printed
eventually, but not completely.

SCALING INFORMATION

When Enable Scaling is selected from the Paper tab, changes made
to the "This Page Size" and "Percent" fields are immediately
reflected in the Scaling section. When the "Width" and "Height"
fields are changed, those changes are not reflected until you
click on a different field or click on OK. You must then go back
to the Scaling options box.

LAYOUT INFORMATION

The image in Layout View should rotate when the Orientation is
changed from Portrait to Landscape and vice versa. If the page
size is changed, the image size in the Layout View should also
change.
