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

Problem

Solutions: The customer's computer is hooked up to a Novell network, but they are running WordPerfect 5.1 off the hard drive of their computer. They will not be able to put the name of the queue in for the port name because WP doesn't know to look for a network queue and just makes a print to disk file.

A way to get around this is to make an environment file (WP{WP}.ENV) in their WP51 directory that has /NT=1 and /PS=C:\WP51 on separate lines. This file must be in a DOS text format. In their AUTOEXEC.BAT file they should have a line that says SET WP=/U-xxx, where xxx should be different user initials than what their initials are on the network. This way WP doesn't prompt for their initials every time they go into WordPerfect.

Then after all these changes are made they need to exit out of everything, log out and reboot their computer. Then they need to go back in WP, edit the printer, change the port to their queue name, say yes to network printer. At this point they will be asked to "Suppress Top of Form on last page of document? No (Yes)" Generally the answer should be No. However, if answering No causes a form feed to begin printing after each job, then it should be set to Yes. After this, they will be able to print to a network printer.
