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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is not able to print to an IBM 4216-20 Personal Pageprinter in DrawPerfect. The customer can print from WordPerfect. But when the customer tries to print a document in Draw, the document appears to be printing, but then, an error message is given, "Disk Full: Press Any Key To Continue." There is no way the customer's disk could be full. The customer is using an EPT port when printing (Shift-F7, S, 3, 2) set to Other (8) for EPT. Solutions: The customer was printing through an EPT port. There are known problems with this configuration such as causing disk full errors. To correct this, have the customer create a WP.PRF file in his directory. This can be done by doing the following:

1.      Out at DOS type:
      COPY CON C:\PP\WP.PRF
      STANDARD_PRINT = POSTSCRIPT
      ^Z (Ctrl-Z)
2.      Create two batch files: one to go into WP and the other to go into Draw. Do this by typing the following out at DOS:
      COPY CON C:\WPPP.BAT
      ECHO OFF
      CD C:\PP
      PPLOAD PPSADAPT.MOD
      PPCONFIG WP.PRF
      CD C:\WP51
      WP
      ^Z
3.      Follow the above steps for DrawPerfect but with a different directory; the executable command is also different for Draw than WP: change it to DR rather than WP.
4.      In both programs change the port to LPT2 (this could also be LPT1 depending on the hardware setup).
