  HP Printers.  
 

Sometimes, HP printers exhibit various problems when used with DMS (Windows can't find the printer, Windows tries to "fax" DMS's report, the printer will not print reliably -- sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, it can be difficult to configure, etc., etc., etc.).

We have found a program called Fineprint that virtually eliminates the problems associated with HP printers. We recommend that you download a copy and configure it as below.

  • Click the <START> button.
  • Open the Control Panel.
  • Open Printers and Faxes.
  • Right click on "Fineprint" and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu.
  • Click the "Printing Preferences" button.
  • Select the "Setup" tab.
  • Check the "Do Not Show Dialog" checkbox.
  • Select the "Preview" tab.
  • Choose the "Bypass" radio button.
  • Set the "Printer" combobox to the correct printer.
  • Click the <OK> button.
  • Click the <OK> button on the "Fineprint Properties" form.
  • Close the "Printers and Faxes" form.
NOTE -- This problem no longer exists in v7 of DMS!!
