SUMMARY

The NEC P9 XL printer driver that ships with Microsoft Windows 3.0 does not support color, even though the driver includes a color option and the Windows/286 driver for this printer supports color. An update of the driver with color support is available directly from NEC.

MORE INFORMATION

Under Windows/286, this printer driver supports color printing. However when Windows 3.0 was released, the driver was changed and does not support color printing. Unfortunately, the printer setup box was not changed to the indicate the difference.

NEC has since updated the driver and it now supports color printing, even in Paintbrush. To obtain this driver, call NEC.
