Adding a Windows NT 3.x driver

This update procedure provides printer page size information for Windows NT applications. However, TekColor color corrections and other PostScript Level 2 features are not supported by the Windows NT driver. Refer to your printer’s user documentation for instructions on other ways of selecting color corrections. Refer to your Microsoft Windows NT documentation for details on features in the Windows NT driver.

These instructions assume a basic familiarity with Windows NT operation and terminology. For additional information about Windows NT, refer to your Microsoft Windows NT documentation.
