RE: C/A Printer Set-up

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, isn't it up to Win95 to find the correct printer driver ?  It
isn't CA/400 that sets up printers on the PC side, it's really Windows
that is doing it.  So maybe you don't have a driver for the HP5L loaded
in windows ?  Download a driver via the web for the printer, then go
into the printer setup again, or go into printer setup and click 'Have
Disk' and point it to the downloaded HP5L driver.
