Below is the README from the updated Hewlett-Packard (HP) PCL5EMS drivers.
At the end of the document are locations for downloading the driver set.
PCL5EMS.DLL Version 3.30
This release adds support for the following HP Model Printers:
- HP LaserJet 5Si
- HP LaserJet 5Si MX
- HP LaserJet 5L
- HP CopyJet
- HP DeskJet 1600C
Requirements Before Installation
These updated Drivers require that Service Pack 3 be installed before they
will work properly. In particular WINSRV.DLL was changed to handle large
spool files across the Lan.
The order of Installation is important. Please install in the following
order:
- Service Pack 3
- Updated Printer Drivers.
In the event that you installed the Service Pack 3 last please do the
following:
- Select the Installed Printer from Print Manager
- From the Printer Menu choose "Remove Printer"
- Following the Installation steps listed in the section "Installation
Instructions"
Known Issues
In some cases, when printing to the HP Deskjet 1600c in 24bit color mode
from 16 bit applications, the output received may not be in color. This
does not occur when printing in 8 bit (256 color) mode or the 3 bit (8
color) mode. This problem can be worked around by printing to a lower
color mode setting or, if possible, printing from a 32 bit version of the
application.
