****************************************************************
4.  Files do not install during the installation
****************************************************************

Before installing the HP LaserJet 5/5M Printing System, close
all applications and TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs
that load at startup (in Windows or DOS) such as virus checkers,
fax utilities, etc., and all other applications that may be open.
Also close all shell utilities such as:  Microsoft Office 
Manager, Norton Desktop, Dashboard, etc.  Lastly, exit any 
previous version of HP Status Window that may be running.


****************************************************************
5.  Printer status does not seem to work correctly or is
    unavailable in Windows 95
****************************************************************

Printer status reporting for Windows 95 occurs through a printer 
icon located on the Windows 95 status bar (called the system 
tray). If this icon is not appearing, check to ensure that the 
JetAdmin utility is version 2.20 and a network service has been 
installed. The electronic version of the LaserJet PCL driver does 
not include JetAdmin. It is only available with the printing
system disk set. If the JetAdmin utility is not installed or
the wrong version is installed, install the software that was
provided with the printer (before installing the downloaded 
driver).  To install a network service, follow your Windows 
95 instructions. Installing a network service is required 
regardless if the printer is hooked to a network or directly
to the computer.


****************************************************************
6.  General Protection Fault occurs when running the JetAdmin
    Utility
****************************************************************

If a general protection fault occurs while trying to run the 
JetAdmin Utility, check to make sure that version 2.20 or higher 
is installed.  If it is not, reinstall the HP LaserJet 5/5M 
software provided with the printer.  Use the custom installation
method to ensure that the correct files are installed.


****************************************************************
7.  Document does not print correctly
****************************************************************

Several things can cause a document to not print correctly; not 
enough memory in the printer to handle the document being 
printed, incorrect behavior by applications, Windows or printer
drivers, or incorrect settings in the printer drivers.  If using
the HP LaserJet 5/5M - Standard printer driver, try printing in 
either HP-GL/2 or Raster modes or changing resolutions from 600
to 300. These modes can be selected in the printer setup dialog 
under the Print Quality sheet.  If neither of these modes fixes 
the problem try using the HP LaserJet 5/5M - Enhanced printer 
driver.  If the problem occurs while printing with the HP 
LaserJet 5/5M - Enhanced printer driver, try using the HP 
LaserJet 5/5M - Standard printer driver.
