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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is printing from WordPerfect to a UNIX print queue attached to the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter (PostScript). This print queue translates the print job code into the PostScript format and then sends the job on to the printer. The customer can get it to work if they select the DOS Text printer before printing. However, the customer cannot access the fonts that come with the printer. Solutions: The customer is printing to a queue that converts the information into the PostScript language. This will work if the user is sending ASCII text. The DOS Text printer outputs the code in the DOS Text format (no printer codes). The IBM 4019 LaserPrinter driver has some printer code that cannot be converted into the PostScript format. Therefore, the document cannot be printed correctly. PostScript code looks like text when sent through the conversion, and thus the code is sent to the printer as text. The customer should select the PostScript printer driver and print without a conversion, or select a printer driver that doesn't contain any printer codes (like DOS Text Printer). If the customer selects a driver without code, they will not be able to access the fonts.
