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

Problem

Solutions: A customer printing to the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter (PostScript) using the Apple LaserWriter Plus definition was trying to print line draw. Even though he had copied many of his WordPerfect program files and .PRS file to his 2M RAM (Virtual) Disk, it still took about 45 seconds to print even two or thee line draw characters because WordPerfect creates the characters graphically. A larger line draw figure caused the printer to time out because of the excessive time required. The hard disk was working furiously during this time.

A work around was to enter WP with WP/D-D: (d: is his RAM drive) startup options and change his Location of Auxiliary Files for printers and graphics files to d:, and the document started printing within 5 seconds.
