Unable To Print To LPT1: From WP - Prints Fro |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Users cannot print from WordPerfect using LPT1:; however, DOS prints fine using LPT1:. If they select Other for Port and selects either LPT1 or PRN, they can print. Solutions: This is probably a problem with one of the wires in the printer cable. This can happen because WP sends checks through the wires in the cable (possibly wires that are not necessary on the printer), and if the wire is not good, then WP will not print. However, DOS does not send the checks, and thus will print. By changing to Other and selecting either LPT1 or PRN, WP believes that it is printing to a device and will not send the checks. This arrangement allows WP to send the print job through when it normally would not. Customers 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. |
