Printing from DOS-based applications

A caller wanted to print from Harvard Graphics, a DOS-based program, on an HP printer running under Windows.

Reading the info about the 1010 on HP's website, under Spec's it says:

*Optional compatible operating systems:
Download available at http://www.hp.com. Printing from DOS-based applications is possible in compatibility mode. "

*Software included:
Drivers In-box: Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0, 3.1x (PCL 5e only), 9x, 2000, Me, Macintosh™ System 7.5.5 and above. Drivers on the web: Windows 3.1x (PCL 6), IBM OS/2 and UNIX/LINUX. Download available at http://www.hp.com. Printing from DOS-based applications is possible in compatibility mode. Software disk replication utility for attended or unattended deployment of custom drivers. HP internet installer can automatically update printer drivers during installation. HP Web Jetadmin printer management software for network configuration and management from a common web browser. Download available at http://www.hp.com

That being said, it sounds like HP knows about these printers and printing in DOS mode, so they would easily be able to help you out! HP's phone number is: Hewlett Packard (800) 752-0900.

A caller suggested converting Harvard Graphics into PowerPoint. There is further help at this web site.
