Help: Corel4 + HP660C + WinOS2
By Kim1 - usenet poster
Hi
I've just installed a new HP660C for use with Corel4 under WinOS2.
The HP windows drivers that came with the printer seem to work
fine under WinOS2 except with CorelDraw. The problem I'm having
is that CorelDraw throws GPF's in the HP driver dll when printing
any font larger than 16pt. It seems to work fine with graphics.
Can anyone suggest a reason for this? I've about exhausted my
ideas (using the Print Manager, changing all the options for the
OMNI driver in OS/2, etc. ...).
Any help appreciated!
Vince.

In < I have the same problem with Corel 4 & 5, and an HP 850C at work. It has nothing
to do with your OS/2 Omni drivers, which actually seem to work pretty well. The
problem seems to lie in the HP drivers themselves. All versions of Corel crash when
printing a moderately complex colour image, no matter what operating system they
are run on (OS/2, Win95, Win3.1). Many times I can get it to go by pasting the Corel
image into, say, Pagemaker, and printing from there, but evenm that is not bullet
proof.
My best advice is to complain to HP, and/or check their Web site for new drivers.
You could also complain to Corel, but don't hold your breath.

Don't have corel4. How is your computer set up? are you boot manager
and able to load up vanilla dos/win to check response there?
what about printing to a file from corel draw then trying to print that
file when corel is closed? same thing?
with my novel perfectoffice suite, there is a program called Envoy.
Sometimes in Mathcad I needed to print my file using the envoy driver
and
then print it from there. It helped out when I had some screwy fonts
and colors that didnt work... do you have anything like that you can
try?
Maybe there is a print option under corel that is messed up.
did you try playing with the print manager on/off button?
tell corel and HP that you get a GPF, but don't say you are under
win/os2
unless asked perhaps it is their problem?
Does corel have an update or fixpack you can try?
just trying to throw out some ideas...
ps. your newsreader or mail program or whatever has the reply to field
as 'see below'. this really screws up other programs that use that
field to reply to your message Some people might not realize that is
why replys to you aren't going anywhere...

In message < <
I wouldn't know about the latter claim. But I have an HP 680C printer;
the 682C package is the same 680C printer bundled with some Disney
windows software for producing a children's party. OS/2 drivers are
readily available.
The windows drivers supplied by HP install and work fine in a Win-OS2
session. You do have to edit out a line from one of the windoze INI
files to keep it from complaining at startup. On the OS/2 side, install
the latest OMNI drivers (OMNI451, I think). The 680C is not listed, but
if you tell it you have a 660C printer, it works perfectly. The 680C
printer apparently uses the same print mechanism as the 660C (so the
driver works fine), but sports a different paper carriage in order to
support printing on banners and cardstock.

I have the 682C from HP and I cannot find a driver anywhere! HP and
Compaq are two examples of companies in bed with Gates.
