SYMPTOMS
========
When you switch between a LaserMaster WinJet 300 and a WinJet 800, you receive
the following printer error message:
WinPrint Manager
Printer Error: VPD cannot register frame buffer
Other error messages are then displayed.
CAUSE
=====
If you switch between a LaserMaster WinJet 300 and a WinJet 800 must manually
edit the SYSTEM.INI file. The printer errors occur if you fail to do this.
WORKAROUND
==========
WinJet 300
----------
The WinJet 300 installation adds the following lines to the [386Enh] section of
the SYSTEM.INI file:
device=LMLPV.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMCAP.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMMI.386 ;WinPrint
When you install a WinJet 300 over an existing WinJet 800, the installation
process does not remove the line (device=LMHAROLD.386 ;WinPrint). You must do
this manually, as follows:
1. Make a backup copy of your SYSTEM.INI by copying the file to SYSTEM.BAK.
2. Open the SYSTEM.INI in a text editor (NOTEPAD.EXE).
3. Place a semicolon in front of the device=LMHAROLD.386 line in the [386Enh]
section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
The line should appear as in the sample below:
[386Enh]
device=LMLPV.386 ;WinPrint
;device=LMHAROLD.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMCAP.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMMI.386 ;WinPrint
WinJet 800
----------
The WinJet 800 installation adds the following lines to the [386Enh] section of
the SYSTEM.INI file:
device=LMHAROLD.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMCAP.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMMI.386 ;WinPrint
When you install a WinJet 800 over an existing WinJet 300, the installation
process does not remove the line (device=LMLPV.386 ;WinPrint). You must do this
manually as follows:
1. Make a backup copy of your SYSTEM.INI by copying the file to SYSTEM.BAK.
2. Open the SYSTEM.INI in a text editor (NOTEPAD.EXE).
3. Place a semicolon in front of the device=LMLPV.386 line in the [386Enh]
section of the SYSTEM.INI.
The line should appear as in the sample below:
[386Enh]
;device=LMLPV.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMHAROLD.386 ;WinPrint
device=LMCAP.386 ;WinPrint
