JetPilot 2.3 ============ 14. June 1996 JetPilot is the solution for most printing problems. It allows to use the inexpensive BubbleJet printers as well as a selection of the most popular laser printers. No need for slow or expensive PostScript printers, just use any supported standard printer. But even for PS printers it is a speed improvement. SPECIAL: Now includes an enhanced driver for the NeXT laser. THE PACKAGE =========== JetPilot.2.3.NIHS.b.tar.gz Quad FAT Package JetPilot.2.3.NI.b.tar.gz NeXT and Intel architecture only JetPilot.2.3.HS.b.tar.gz HP-PA RISC and SUN SPARC architecture only Contents: ./Documents/ directory with several notes ./JetPilotDriver.2.3.pkg the driver package ./JetPilotManager.2.3.pkg manager software package FIXED IN 2.3 ================ ˇ Printing on some of the newer Epson printers like the StylusXLPro got wrong paper settings and caused strange behavior, like additionals paperfeeds. ˇ BugFix in the StylusColorDriver. Printing with error diffusion and 720dpi and a splitting threshold like 4 and 8 could causes a PostScript error. ˇ Printing with enabled page splitting could render splits with different printing settings. ˇ If JetPilot should print on different printer types via the same comm class, it sometimes works just for the first one printer. The only workaround was rebooting the system. ˇ Wrong settings for the older LaserJet Printers like LaserJet II and III. Printouts looked damaged. ˇ Some printer defaults couldnÁt be saved from JetPilotManager. ˇ If pagesplitting is enabled, sometimes local printing of documents with 10 or more pages could stop after a few pages. NEW IN 2.3 ================ ˇ new HP LaserJets 5, 5L, 5M, 5P, 5N, 5MP, 5Si and 5SiMX added. ˇ new HP DeskJets 820C and 680C added. ˇ Epson StylusColor IIs, LQ150 and LQ300 added. ˇ NeXT Laser Printer added. ˇ Nice level added to control system performance. ˇ Added a IPCFile comm class to the driver, which enables to print to a file instead to a printer. The file includes all printer settings for the specifiied printer. ˇ Enhanced the ipc comm classes for debuging purpose. There is a verbose mode which can be enabled via PrinterManager. This feature is just for the case you ran into problems. SUPPORTED PRINTERS ================== This is a list of printers which are supported namely. If you have a printer which is not on this list, but offers a "compatible" mode, simply select the printer, which seems to be most likely.
