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

Problem

After installing another printer and then removing it, WordPerfect Dos will not print to the current printer under Windows 95. WordPerfect will print correctly under Ms-dos.

Answer:

A load line in the Win.ini may be loading an old printer driver which may no longer be used. Disabling the line allows WordPerfect to print under Windows 95.

Details:

To disable a line in a system file (Win.ini) of Windows 95:

1. Click Start | Run and enter sysedit.
2. Select Window | Win.ini file to bring it to the front.
3. Select Search | Find, and enter PrinterPort.
3. Type a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line of the printers which you do not use.
4. Restart Windows for your change to take effect.
