OSWAPDRV - NO PROMPT TO INSTALL WIN-OS/2 PRINTER DRIVER IN OS/2 WARP CONNECT 02/02/96 ======================================================================= No Prompt to Install WIN-OS/2 Printer Driver in OS/2 Warp Connect ======================================================================= Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures -------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION After installing an OS/2 printer driver, no prompt is received about installing an equivalent WIN-OS/2 printer driver. RESOLUTION There are two possible causes of this problem: * The WIN-OS/2 version that comes with OS/2 is equivalent to Microsoft Windows 3.1. Consequently, the only Windows printer drivers that come with OS/2 are those that were available with Windows 3.1. If the OS/2 printer driver is later than Windows 3.1, there will be no equivalent Windows driver. SOLUTION: Install the Windows driver that came with the printer, or contact the printer manufacturer for a Windows driver. * The \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory has the file, DRVMAP.INF. This file matches the OS/2 printer drivers with the WIN-OS/2 printer drivers. If the file is missing or damaged, you will not receive the prompt about installing a WIN-OS/2 printer driver. SOLUTION: Either copy DRVMAP.INF from another system, or unpack it from the file, WINENV, which is on Diskette 12 in OS/2 Warp Fullpack. ______________________________________________________________________ IBM disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including without limitation, warranties of fitness and merchantability with respect to the information in this document.
