III) Bug Tracking: 1 RAID Bugs fixed in this version: 53755, 53983, 53292, 53983, 54101, 54121, 54144, 54149, 54221, 54293 2 Known issues: a) Certain applications using True Type Fonts cause the error (20 Memory OverFlow) to occur on the printer. - A temporary work-around is to set the "Print Text as Graphics" to TRUE. b) If a user i) specifies Collation to be TRUE under both the Microsoft Word Dialogue and the Windows NT Document Defaults Dialogue, ii) sets the OUTPUTBIN to be Stapler, and iii) Sets #copies > 1, then the resulting job will staple all copies together with one staple. 08/21/96: (REQUIRES NT 4.0, Build 1381) This version of the mini-driver fixes bugs previously existent in the hp5simui code and adds full printer functionality interaction with the hp5sim code through rasdd. This is the best so far, so have at it. Known issues: 1) User/Administrator cannot modify watermarks. 2) On new installation of the driver, the first call of DocPropSheet causes the process to fail(fixing under-way). 3) Jonah(& Eclipse?) defaults not verified. 4) Update Driver functionality is not active. 5) Certain modes of operation lead to print-time bugs: a) Attempting to staple and uncollated print process. b) Attempting to staple non A4/letter paper. (NOTE: Code has been added to check for these conditions but has not yet been tested.) 6) See the problems listing in Raid. 08/14/96: (REQUIRES NT 4.0, Build 1381) This version of the mini-driver implements Printer property and document default selection.
