WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has a NEC SilentWriter 2 Model 290. The customer needs to put the NEC SilentWriter 2 in an HP LaserJet IIP emulation mode, but when he does this he loses some font capability. When the customer runs WordPerfect 5.1 with his NEC printer defined, he has no problems accessing his PostScript fonts. But he wants his printer to also emulate an HP LaserJet IIP because when his printer emulates this printer, he can access 13 typefaces. But when the customer uses an emulation for his NEC printer, in Ctrl-F8 only a few fonts are listed. The customer would like to know how to use the emulation but still have all of his PostScript fonts. Solutions: Once the NEC SilentWriter 2 model 290 printer is in the HP LaserJet IIP emulation, it has the same capabilities and fonts as the HP IIP printer. There is no way for him to access the PostScript fonts the printer had when it was in a PostScript mode. The customer wants to use the HP emulation because he does some ASCII prints, and PostScript printers cannot print ASCII print jobs. However, there are TSRs that can convert an ASCII print job into PostScript; it was suggested that he investigate one of these.
