directions on doing this, reference the section labeled Before you
Upgrade.

Determining a Successful Upgrade.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:

If having problems with time-outs when sending the file using a proxy
server, try turning off the proxy server and sending the file again.
Alternatively, the printer IP address can be entered individually as an
address, for which a proxy should not be used.

Check your browser version to be sure your are using the correct
version.  The upgrade procedure requires Netscape 3.0 or later or
