A printer driver is a file that lets your software application know how to interface with--or "drive"--your printer. All versions of WordPerfect ship with literally hundreds of printer drivers, and additional drivers are also available. There are three ways to obtain a printer driver:


1)      Bulletin Board Service--If your computer has a modem you can download printer drivers from our Bulletin Board Service (BBS). (You must be familiar with your modem's operation, as we provide no instructions in the use of any particular modem.) This is a 24-hour service. Instruct your modem to call (613) 728-4752. To obtain a listing of all the available drivers and their filenames, access the File Library for the product of your choice. (To receive by fax a document pertaining to using our BBS you may call the Fax- On-Demand service at 1-613-724-3456 and request document #6365.)

2)      Internet--If you have Internet access you can get printer drivers from our web site. Again, as with our BBS, you must be familiar with using the Internet to be successful as we do not provide "net surfing" instructions.

      Our Web address for printer drivers is http://www.corel.com/support/printerdrivers/index.htm. You may search for your printer's name, or list printers by manufacturer. Once you find your printer, check for the version of WordPerfect. The version will be listed as WP5x for WordPerfect for DOS 5.1/5.1+ and WordPerfect for Windows 5.1/5.2/5.2+, or WP6x for WordPerfect for DOS 6.0/6.1 or WordPerfect for Windows 6.0/6.1.

3)      Additional Printer Disks may be purchased from the Corel Customer Service Center. The number is (800) 772-6735. Disks are available for WordPerfect for DOS 5.1/5.1+/6.0/6.1 and WordPerfect for Windows 5.1/5.2/5.2+/6.0.
      
      Note: WordPerfect for Windows 6.1 Additional Printer diskettes are not available for order from Customer Service. See option 4.

4)      WordPerfect for Windows 6.1--If you are using WordPerfect for Windows 6.1, you may purchase the appropriate printer driver on 3.5" diskette for $15. To place your order, mail or fax your Printer Driver Request to:

      Corel Inc.
      Correspondence
      567 East Timpanogos Parkway
      Orem, UT 84057
      Fax: (801) 222-4377

      The following information is needed to process the Printer Driver Request:

      Name
      Shipping Address
      Phone number
      Fax Number
      Version of WordPerfect
      Printer name and model (Please be specific)
      MasterCard, Visa, or American Express Card Number and Expiration date

5)      Drivers Available on Additional Printer Disks--For a list of printers currently available on diskette from Customer Service, the following Fax-on- Demand documents are available.

Brother                        6148
Canon                        6149

If you find that we don't have a driver for your specific printer, check your printer documentation or call the printer's manufacturer for "emulation" suggestions (an emulation is a similar driver that could be used as a substitute). An emulation driver for your printer may have been included in your WordPerfect installation disks or may be available through one of the previously discussed options.
