OSBPIBPR - UNABLE TO SAVE PRINTER SETTINGS IN IBM WORKS 08/29/96 ====================================================================== Unable to Save Printer Settings in IBM Works ====================================================================== Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures -------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION At this time it is not possible to save printer settings in IBM Works from the BonusPak; IBM Works is accessing the OS/2 desktop printer object's settings and will always reset to default when the application is shutdown. RESOLUTION There are two workarounds available: * Avoid shutting down IBM Works until a total system shutdown is necessary, or until you no longer plan to print from IBM Works in a particular time frame. OS/2's multitasking capabilities allow you to have several applications running simultaneously. * You can access the Job Properties settings from the Printer Driver page of the OS/2 desktop printer icon. If you do not want to change the default settings for the whole system, create a new printer object, using the same printer output port and printer driver, but changing the printer driver Job Properties. Then, the only change you must make in IBM Works is to tell it to use this new printer object. ______________________________________________________________________ IBM disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including without limitation, warranties of fitness and merchantability with respect to the information in this document.
