DRESET.COM Resets Deskjet to status at turn on. (issues a Reset)
DCOND.COM Effectuates condensed print 16.67 cpi.
D10CPI.COM Effectuates normal 10 cpi. (the default)
DLQ.COM Switches to Letter Quality print. (the default)
DDRAFT.COM Switches to Draft print mode.
D66.COM Sets Page to normal size, 66 lines, no skip.
D20CPI.COM Effectuates 20 cpi.
D84.COM Sets Page to Legal Size, 84 lines, no skip.
The Files D84.com and D66.com set the printer to act similar to a
line printer in the way it handles the pages. Often with the Laserjet
and the Deskjet also, subsequent pages are thrown off because the printer
establishes a fixed page size and top and bottom margin size. These two
files should eliminate problems of text carrying over from one page to the
next when the text should be on the previous page. I made D84.com so I
could use the Deskjet with PFS Professional File in page size of 84 lines,
Legal Size Paper, and for other software. These allow the software to
control the printer rather than the fixed HP pagesize defaults.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
