Printer CPI Files Do Not Support CP 852 (74681)



The information in this article applies to:
    Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0

This article was previously published under Q74681

SYMPTOMS

You may receive the following message when you attempt to prepare codepage 852 for the printer:

Device or codepage missing from font file.

CAUSE

MS-DOS version 5.0 introduced support for codepage 852. The codepage information (.CPI) files for the display device (EGA.CPI and LCD.CPI) were updated to support this codepage. The codepage information files for the printers (4201.CPI, 4208.CPI, and 5202.CPI) were not updated to support this codepage. Therefore, you receive the error message when you attempt to prepare the codepage for the printer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a limitation of MS-DOS version 5.0. This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release of MS-DOS.
