1. DRIVER INSTALLATION
===============================================================

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS DRIVER AND PREVIOUS VERSIONS
-----------------------------------------------------
If you are updating from the HP DeskJet 310 v1.x Printer
Driver, You should be aware of the following differences
between this driver and previous versions:

  o Automatic color printing.
  o Printer dialog boxes have been redesigned.
  o Intellifont fonts are no longer supported.
  o Print regions are different from previous versions
  o This driver does not work with Microsoft Windows 3.0
  o Print spooling through new Print Manager included

Automatic printing
------------------
The HP DeskJet 300 Series printer driver uses HP's ColorSmart
technology to select the best printer settings for your
documents. ColorSmart analyzes your document and automatically
selects the halftoning, intensity, and color control settings
to provide the best quality printout of your document.
ColorSmart is enabled when you select Automatic Printout mode
in the Printer Setup dialog box.

Intellifont fonts
-----------------
Previous versions (v1.x) of this driver included three
Intellifont typefaces. This version of the printer driver does
not support use of Intellifont fonts. The equivalent typefaces
in style can be obtained by using the following scalable
TrueType typefaces provided with windows 3.1:

   Intellifont Font      Equivalent TrueType Font
   ----------------      ------------------------
   CG Times              Times New Roman
   Univers               Arial
   Courier               Courier New

If you have existing documents formatted using Intellifont
fonts, the Windows operating system will substitute equivalent
TrueType fonts. This may require minor reformatting for some
existing documents.

Print regions are different
---------------------------
The minimum margins are now 0.33 inch top and 0.5 inch bottom
for all media sizes.

To use the same margins as the HP DeskJet 310 v1.x drivers,
refer to the section "INI FILE MODIFICATIONS" below.

This driver does not work with Microsoft Windows 3.0
----------------------------------------------------
The HP DeskJet 300 Series printer driver, Version 4.1, does not
support Microsoft Windows 3.0 or earlier versions. Before
installing this driver, you must upgrade to Microsoft Windows
3.1.

INSTALLATION ON MS WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS 3.1 and 3.11
------------------------------------------------------
You need to run HPSETUP.EXE from the Program Manager.
Do not run HPSETUP.EXE from the File Manager.

INSTALLING THROUGH THE CONTROL PANEL
------------------------------------
HP does not recommend installing the driver through the Control
Panel as this may result in incomplete installation. You should
run the HPSETUP.EXE program on the installation disk instead.

If you must install the driver through the Control Panel,
rename the file OEMSETUP.HP to OEMSETUP.INF on the driver
installation disk before doing so.

REINSTALLING THE DRIVER AFTER REINSTALLING WINDOWS 3.1
------------------------------------------------------
If you reinstall Microsoft Windows 3.1 after installing the
printer driver, reinstall the printer driver to ensure correct
printer operation.

REINSTALLING A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE PRINTER DRIVER
-----------------------------------------------------
When installing the HP DeskJet 300 Series printer driver, the
HPSETUP program enters a line in the [spooler] section of
WIN.INI. This line must be removed in order for an older
version (v1.x) of the HP DeskJet 310 printer driver to work
correctly. Using an ASCII text editor such as NOTEPAD or another
editing program on your Computer, remove the indicated line in
the spooler section of the WIN.INI:

NOTE: Be sure to make a backup copy of your WIN.INI
      file before editing in case you make an error
      while editing.

  [spooler]
  .
  .
  .
  qp.LPT1=hpaiod.dll  <--- REMOVE THIS LINE.

After changing the WIN.INI, restart Microsoft Windows.

===============================================================
2. TROUBLESHOOTING
===============================================================

Information on common printer and printing problems can be found
in the help file. To access this information, click the Help
button in the printer setup dialog.

CROSSHATCHED FILLS AND PATTERNS DO NOT PRINT
--------------------------------------------
For many applications, printing crosshatching is not supported
in some printer modes. If you are having problems printing
crosshatching, try using Color Graphics Printout mode or
Black Text Printout mode.

DRIVER WILL NOT INSTALL TO AN HP OMNIBOOK PC
--------------------------------------------
The HP Omnibook has a subset of Microsoft Windows 3.1 which
does not include the file LZEXPAND.DLL. This file is required
for driver installation and is included in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory of most PCs running Microsoft Windows 3.1.
Obtain a copy of this file and copy it to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory of the HP Omnibook before installing the printer
driver.

FORMATTING PROBLEMS WITH PRINT REGIONS AND MARGINS
--------------------------------------------------
To use the same print region as previous versions of the
HP DeskJet 310 printer drivers, check the "Old Print Region"
check box in the INI Configuration program. For instructions on
using the INI Configuration program, see the section on INI
file modification in this README file.

NOTE: With this change, text on printed pages
      containing color will be shifted up from
      what you see on your screen.

The printable area on a page using the HP DeskJet 300 Series
printer driver differs from the printable area allowed by DOS
applications.

3. APPLICATION NOTES
===============================================================

SOFTWARE APPLICATION NOTES
--------------------------
At the time the HP DeskJet 300 Series printer driver was 
released, the following software application limitations 
existed:

   ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: You cannot cancel a print job from
   PageMaker 5.0.

   ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: The HP Status Dialog box is hidden
   behind the active PageMaker window.

   ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: Color pattern fills do not always print
   with the correct pattern.

   ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0: Documents created in PageMaker 4.0 may
   not print correctly in PageMaker 5.0.

   BORLAND QUATTRO PRO 1.0: In Black Text mode, graph
   backgrounds do not print.

   COREL DRAW 4.0: Rotated graphic images will print very
   slowly (printing can take 1 to 2 hours). Select Color
   Graphics or Color Photo Printout mode instead of Automatic
   mode when printing rotated graphic images. The printer will
   print faster in these modes.

   COREL DRAW 4.0: Portions of printed output will be rotated
   180 degrees and enlarged. Exit Windows and then restart
   Windows. Then try printing again.

   COREL DRAW 4.0: Full-Color pattern fills may not print
   correctly. Use alternative fill types.

   HP Explorer: IF you have the HP Explorer software for the
   HP LaserJet 4L running in background and you attempt to
   print with an HP DeskJet 300 series printer driver, you may
   get an error message "Not Enough Memory To Print". To print
   with the HP DeskJet 300 series printer driver, either turn
   off the HP Explorer Software or add the "/x" switch to the
   STAT4L.EXE command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  The command
   should then read

      STAT4L.EXE /x

   Using the /x switch may increase the time it takes for
   HP Explorer to "Pop Up."

   LOTUS 1-2-3: Shading does not print correctly with color
   backgrounds.

   LOTUS 1-2-3: Line color may be wrong in some Printout modes.
   Try printing with Color Graphics Printout mode.

   LOTUS AMI PRO 3.0: Background colors and fill patterns may
   not print correctly.

   LOTUS IMPROV 2.0: Images with scaling factors greater than
   100% will be clipped.

   MICROSOFT EXCEL 5.0 & 4.0: Some paths to the driver dialogs
   do not work correctly and settings are not retained. To
   reach a printer setup that works, select:
     (EXCEL 5) File, Page Setup, Page, Options
     (EXCEL 4) File, Page Setup, Printer Setup, Setup.

   MICROSOFT EXCEL 4.0: Sides of 3D charts print in black
   instead of dark colors. Select Automatic or Color Photo
   Printout mode to print in color.

   MICROSOFT POWERPOINT 3.0: Background pattern shading is not
   uniform in Cluster and Pattern Halftoning modes. Select
   Automatic Printout mode.

   MICROSOFT POWERPOINT 3.0: A GP fault occurs when printing if
   spooling with SuperQueue 3.02. Turn SuperQueue off to print
   from Powerpoint 3.0.

   MICROSOFT PUBLISHER 1.0: You cannot change print settings
   from Microsoft Publisher 1.0. You must change print settings
   through the Control Panel.

   MICROSOFT WORD 6.0: To print more than 1 selected document,
   you must disable Background printing. To do this, make sure
   that Tools, Options, Print, Background Printing is not
   selected.

   behind the active Microsoft Word window.

   MICROSOFT WORKS 2.0A: Pie charts print with the wrong colors
   in several printout modes. Print with Color Graphics
   Printout mode with Pattern Halftoning.

   MICROSOFT WORKS 3.0: Charts print incorrectly in several
   printout modes. Print with Color Graphics Printout mode with
   Pattern Halftoning.

   SPC HARVARD GRAPHICS 1.021: Pie slices print as rectangles.

   WORDPERFECT 6.0: When printing tables, there may be
   horizontal gaps at several places on the page. WP6.0a fixes
   this problem. However, if you are unable to upgrade to 6.0a,
   do the following:

      Run:     \WPC20\BIFEDIT20.EXE
      Select:  File, Open Private BIF
      Select:  WP Print Process
      Select:  WPCorp-Windows Printer Flags
      Click:   Insert...  and add the following
         Item:      HPADJET
         Item Type: Unsigned Double Word
         Value:     2
      Click:   OK, Close

   WORDPERFECT 6.0: Underlining and strikethrough for color
   text does not print in Black Text mode.

   WORDPERFECT 6.0: WordPerfect reads the minimum print margins
   only when it is first started. These margins are determined
   by the paper size and orientation settings in the driver.
   If you are unable to set the margins to the minimum values
   for the printer, exit WordPerfect and make sure that the
   correct paper size and orientation settings are set in the
   driver through the Windows Control Panel. Then restart
   WordPerfect.

   WORDPERFECT: The Paper Source setting in the driver setup
   dialog (Sheet Feeder or Manual Feed) is ignored. Use the
   following path to set it:

        Select Layout, Page, PaperSize and choose or define a
                Paper Type with the correct "Location".

   WORDPERFECT 5.2: You may have trouble printing some color
   images. Try the solution:
        Select File, Preferences, Print, and turn off "Fast
        Graphics Printing" by unchecking the check box.

   WORDPERFECT 5.2: Text in text boxes with shaded backgrounds
   does not print when "Fast Graphics Printing" is not selected.

   ZENOGRAPHICS SUPERQUEUE 3.01: When printing PageMaker 4.0
   documents in PageMaker 5.0, If the message "Fail to print"
   is displayed, turn off SuperQueue and reprint the document.

   ZENOGRAPHICS SUPERQUEUE 3.01: If you get the error message
   "SuperQueue cannot continue-disk may be full" when printing
   TIF graphics, turn off SuperQueue and reprint the document.

   ZENOGRAPHICS SUPERQUEUE 3.01: When printing a Microsoft Word
   document with HP DeskJet 300 Series driver and SuperQueue is
   enabled, the HP DeskJet 300 Series driver status dialog pops
   up to the front when SuperQueue starts printing. Click on
   the application behind the dialog to continue working.

===============================================================
4. INI FILE MODIFICATIONS
