New driver for HP LJ4
My company is using HP LaserJet 4 & 4 Plus printers. Its existing printer driver for Windows 95 does not support printing multiple pages per sheet, which can save paper & environment. I tried the driver of HP LJ5Si, and it works in LJ4 printers for printing Word 97 documents, but not Excel 97. Is there any other new printer driver that can work well in old LJ4 model?

To istal,
I'm using HP LJ5Si printer driver for HP LJ4 printer model. When I select "Print 2 pages per sheet" option in LJ5Si printer setup, it works fine for Word 97 but not Excel 97. (It works well for PowerPoint 97 too, but since PowerPoint itself supports "Print 2 pages per sheet", so I need not use the option in printer driver.)
Thus, I think it is not due to printer settings in Excel. I am looking for another printer driver for LJ4 printer model.
(What I want is printing 2 pages per sheet, i.e. P1 & P2 in first piece of paper, P3 & P4 in second piece.) If I use LJ5Si driver in LJ5Si printer, it works well for Word, Excel & many other applications.

I don't need the newest driver. I want a driver for LJ4 model that supports "print 2 pages per sheet".
Perhaps, the "newest" driver _WILL_ support your need??
Try this: In Excel 97, page setup, you have the option to print 1 page wide, by 2 pages tall. It will work if you don't exceed the right margin with the worksheet.

I want to do something on printer driver, not on individual applications such as Excel 97.
All HP Laserprinter are backward compatible so if you try a LJIII or something.
I know that it´s not a big chance that ljIII or ljII supports printing on both sides but it´s maybe worth a try!?

It seems OK. I'll try the FinePrint shareware. Thanks.
I would go to FIle, Print, then select "pages from" put the range of the pages
for example 1 to 100, then where it says number of copies I would put 2 or more. this would make to print multipages from the same pages 2 times.
Is that what you are looking for?
Let me know if this is what you are refering to.
