- Setting Default Paper Size
- --------------------------
- In many countries the default paper size is A4. It is possible to set
- Fine Print to always use this or other supported sizes by default.
- The default paper size in Fine Print can be set by using the
- Properties dialog box. This dialog box is available from most
- applications in the same place that the printer driver is selected.
- It is also available from Win95 by right clicking on the Fine Print
- icon in the printer panel. From there, select the Details tab and
- click the Setup... button.
-
- Note on Watermarks
- -------------------
- Watermarks do not print on most Laserjet 4 models from Windows 95
- applications. Printing from the same applications under Windows 3.1
- works correctly. Exceptions to this rule include the Laserjet 5
- series of printers.
-
- The only known workaround to this problem is to install the Windows
- 3.1 driver instead of the Windows 95 driver. This should cause no
- ill effects and watermarks will print correctly.
-
- This is not a Fine Print bug. Please see Microsoft's Web site for
- more details: http://www.microsoft.com/kb/articles/q130/5/08.htm
-
- Windows NT Version
- ------------------
- We are currently working on a version of Fine Print for Windows NT, but
