The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: If a user is unable to print from DOS using LPT1, LPT2, etc., try using PRN for the port name. When DOS uses a specific port name like LPT1, it checks to see if there are any problems with the cable. If it uses PRN, it sends the job without checking for problems. Users should also be aware that when using PRN as the port and setting forms to manual and Prompt To Load to Yes, WordPerfect will not prompt to load the paper.
