Print - "Invalid Printer Definition String" W |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The message "Error: Invalid Printer Definition String" appeared when a user printed a file. The user had converted the WordPerfect 5.0 printer driver to WP 5.1, and was using kerning. Solutions: The WP 5.1 kerning feature uses a value to bring two characters closer together, but can also substitute characters. For example, if kerning the word difficult, the letters ffi can be kerned using the ligature character (ffi 4,52). The customer was using a character when kerning. The "Invalid Printer Definition String" error was caused by this. The only characters available for substitution in kerning are 4,51 - 4,55. The error can be corrected with the following change using the PTR Program: 1. Retrieve the 5.0 converted .ALL file and press F4 for Character Maps. 2. Press Enter on the character map, and press F9 to move to the Character Variables. 3. For every variable listed you will see question marks (?????). Replace each question mark in parentheses with the word OUTLINE. One variable, END, will have three sets of question marks. Change the set in parentheses to OUTLINE. The second set should be changed to HPOUTOFF, and the third set should be changed to HPOUTON. 4. Exit, save, and replace the .ALL file. 5. Update the driver in WP (Shift-F7, S, 7). |
