How To Use Dinstall

Included on this disk is a program called dinstall.  What this does
is search all the directories in your path for versions of the printer
driver which you are trying to install and deleting those which are
not needed.  It also will install the new driver and dll's needed for
proper installation.

Commands to Run the Program

Insert disk in drive
Using the Program Manager within Windows choose File, Run
Type in the path and exe. (ie Command Line: b:\dinstall)
This brings you to the Driver Install Window
Highlight the proper driver

If dinstall finds old versions it will prompt you, click YES to delete
old drivers.  When installation is complete a dialog box will appear,
click OK, Click Exit to leave the program.  Now you can configure the
printer through the Control Panel as you normally would.

One word of caution, if you have installed BETA version of the driver
the previous entry in the system setup.inf is not removed so it will
be still a printer selection option in your Control Panel until you
manually remove it from the setup.inf.

If DINSTALL fails to install the driver.  You can install the driver
manually using the following steps.  Prior to installing the driver by
hand you may need to recover the setup.inf file in the \windows\system
directory by copying the setup.bak file to setup.inf using the file manager
or the MS-DOS 'COPY' command.




Installation instructions for new Windows 3.0 printer drivers

This disk contains the following files

UNIDRV.DLL
UNIDRV.HLP
DMCOLOR.DLL         if the printer being installed supports color
FINSTALL.DLL        if the printer supports downloadable soft fonts
DINSTALL.EXE
printer.INF
readme.txt

<printer_name>.TXT  additional information specific to this printer (optional)
<printer_name>.DRV  at least one .DRV file containing the printer driver


To install the drivers for Windows 3.0 you will need to modify your
setup.inf file to include the lines listed in the printer.inf file.

To make these changes do the following.

1.  Run NOTEPAD from within Windows.
2.  Open the setup.inf file in the \windows\system directory.
3.  Search to near the bottom of the file for the section titled [io.device]
    This section will look like the following.

    If you have participated in a beta test of printer drivers, there may
    be additional lines in the [io.device] section.  These old lines should
    be removed and replaced with the new data from the printer.txt file.

[io.device]
; (printers, plotters, etc.)
; The filename is followed by
;
; -- the descriptive string which will appear in Control Panel and
;    which will	appear in WIN.INI
; -- 1 or 2 strings indicating the scaling for this device
;
; There	may be more than one line for a	driver,	corresponding to different
; printers.

5:TTY.DRV,"Generic / Text Only","DEVICESPECIFIC"
5:PSCRIPT.DRV,"Agfa 9000 Series PS [PostScript Printer]","DEVICESPECIFIC"
5:PSCRIPT.DRV,"Agfa Compugraphic 400PS [PostScript Printer]","DEVICESPECIFIC"
  .
  .
  .



4.  Insert the lines for the printers to be installed exactly as they appear
    in the printer.inf file on this disk immediately following the
    [io.device] line in the setup.inf file after the comment lines and before
    the line beginning with 5:TTY.DRV,"Generic / Text Only"


[io.device]
; (printers, plotters, etc.)
; The filename is followed by
;
; -- the descriptive string which will appear in Control Panel and
;    which will	appear in WIN.INI
; -- 1 or 2 strings indicating the scaling for this device
;
; There	may be more than one line for a	driver,	corresponding to different
; printers.


--- *** --- *** --- New lines go here --- *** --- *** ---


5:TTY.DRV,"Generic / Text Only","DEVICESPECIFIC"
5:PSCRIPT.DRV,"Agfa 9000 Series PS [PostScript Printer]","DEVICESPECIFIC"
5:PSCRIPT.DRV,"Agfa Compugraphic 400PS [PostScript Printer]","DEVICESPECIFIC"
5:HPPCL.DRV,"Agfa Compugraphic Genics [PCL / HP LaserJet]","DEVICESPECIFIC"


5.  Exit NOTEPAD and save the changes to the setup.inf file.

6.  Copy the following files from this disk to your \windows\system directory.

    UNIDRV.DLL
    UNIDRV.HLP
    DMCOLOR.DLL   (if available, for color printers only)
    FINSTALL.DLL  (if available)


7.  Run the Control Panel and install the new driver the same way you
    installed other printer drivers.  When the Control Panel requests that
    you insert a disk containing the printer driver, insert this disk in
    drive A.
