Windows 2000/XP Driver
for CalComp Raster Plotters

CalComp did not develop a driver specifically for Windows 2000/XP, but the Windows NT 4.0 Raster driver will function in Windows 2000/XP. In addition to the appropriate files for the specific plotter (95NT40_1, 95NT40_2, and for color models 95NT40_3) three additional files are needed. These are on the Windows NT 4 Installations CD
(Workstation and server) in the "i386" folder. The files needed are:

PSCRIPT.DLL
PSCRPTUI.DLL
PSCRIPT.HLP

Since these are part of Windows NT and Microsoft does not permit GEI-Calgraph to distribute them, they cannot be included with the CalComp driver files. If the CalComp driver is already installed on a Windows NT computer, these files can be located through the Find File function from the Start Menu and copied for use on a new install.

During the driver install after Disk 1 it will request the PSCRIPT files from the Windows CD. You will need to Browse to the directory where you have placed the 3 PSCRIPT files so the driver install can find them.

In addition the PrintProcessor for the driver needs to be installed and selected: Double click on the PPInst.exe file in the Disk1 Folder
Select the Print Processor to install, Ccprint.dll. You may need to go to Windows Explorer View Menu Options Item View tab and select Show all files for ccprint.dll to be displayed.

Go the Start Menu, Settings... Printers.
Select the Printer icon. Right click and pick Properties from the popup menu On the Advanced Tab click on the Print Processor button
In the Print Processor Windows select/highlight the CCPRINT.DLL print processor. On the General tab, click on the "Print Test Page" button.


hope this helps
