size. 

2.9.2.  JPG images (Windows 98 SE): 
When JPG images are resized within the application, they may become fragmented and 
stretched. To avoid this problem, resize the image before inserting it into the document.

When the DL Envelope size is selected in the printer software, in combination with 
Landscape orientation and the Rotate By 180 Degrees setting, the application changes 
the envelope's size to 8.5 x 11 inches. To correct the problem, set the orientation to Portrait.

is set for an even number in the printer software.

Documents may print incorrectly if more than one copy of a document is being
printed and the Collate and automatic Print on Both Sides options are selected 
in the printer software. (The automatic Print on Both Sides option may not be 
available with your printer.)

* If two copies of a document are being printed, the same page will appear on
  the front and back of a single sheet of paper (for example, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, etc.). 

* If multiple copies of a document are being printed and the document contains an 
  odd number of pages, the copies will not print correctly. The final page of the 
  first copy will print on the front of a paper sheet and the first page of the next 
  copy will print on the back.

=======================================
3. PROBLEMS WITH NETWORKED PRINTERS
=======================================

3.1. Performance Issues with Point and Print Connectivity
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the print server does not have sufficient resources, and multiple clients
are printing, you may not achieve maximum printer performance.  

To increase printer speed, add more memory and/or disk space to the print server.



3.2. Power Failure while Printing with a Jetdirect Print Server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a power failure occurs while you are printing with an HP Jetdirect Print 
Server, the next job in the print queue may stay in the Ready state indefinitely. 

>>> To correct this situation:
1. Restore power to the printer.
2. Cancel the current print job.
3. Turn the Jetdirect Print Server's power off and then on again. 


=========================================
4. PROBLEMS PRINTING THROUGH A ZIP DRIVE
=========================================

If the printer is connected to your computer through a ZIP drive, printer 
errors may occur if you try to access the ZIP drive during a print job. To avoid 
these errors, do not try to access your ZIP drive while printing.


=======================================================
5. PROBLEMS WITH 16-BIT APPLICATIONS UNDER WINDOWS NT
=======================================================

If you are running 16-bit applications (designed for Windows 3.x) under 
Windows NT, you may encounter printing problems. To avoid problems, upgrade 
your software to 32-bit applications that are designed for use with Windows NT.
