SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Windows 95 and Windows 98 First Edition

If you are using Windows 95 or the first release of Windows 98 you'll be able to use the drivers provided by LaserMaster as is. You can download these drivers from the link below. The downloaded file is named WP200.EXE. Move or save this file into an empty folder on your hard drive. Double click the file to extract the drivers, then double click the Setup.exe file to begin the installation.

Note: You will need your Windows CD or .cab files during the installation.
The installation steps are outlined below. If you have the Controller card set up correctly, the software installation and font replacement should only take a few minutes.

  1. Make sure you have set up the controller card correctly.
  2. Insert your Windows CD into the CD-ROM drive
  3. Double-click the downloaded file named WP200.EXE to extract the files.
  4. Double click the Setup.exe file to begin the software installation.
  5. "Welcome to the LaserMaster WinPrint Setup." Click Next
  6. This next screen will be the Controller card setup, and the options should already be filled in and match what you set the jumpers for. Otherwise you will see an error about Setup not being able to detect your hardware configuration. In this case you will need to set the jumpers to a different configuration, one that's not being used by another device, and run Setup again. If you did not get an error, then the jumpers are set correctly and you are ready to proceed. Click Next.
  7. Here you will chose the folder to install into. The default folder of C:\Program Files\WinPrint should be fine. Click Next.
  8. Files will be copied from the Windows CD (or the .cab files from the hard drive).
  9. You will be prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
After rebooting, you will need to print a test page to verify everything is working properly.
  1. Click Start - Settings - Printers.
  2. Right-click on the WinPrint icon and choose Properties.
  3. Click "Print Test Page".
  4. If the page prints successfully, you're all set. The printer will now print from any Windows application. If it does not print successfully, you'll have problems printing from nearly everything. This simple test is an important step in verifying proper installation.
