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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer selects the HP LaserJet III printer and creates additional Paper Size/Type definitions. When the customer selects the HP LaserJet IIID printer, the same forms from the III seem to be copied to the IIID definition. Solutions: The HP LaserJet III printer and the HP LaserJet IIID printer have the same .PRS filename (HPLASIII.PRS). So, if the HP LaserJet III is defined, then the HP LaserJet IIID is defined, both will be using the HP LaserJet IIID .PRS file.

Another customer attempted to print a duplex document to the HP LaserJet IIID printer. However, the print job printed on two different pages rather than duplex. The customer discovered that both an HP LaserJet III and an HP LaserJet IIID were defined in WordPerfect. Since these two printers had identical .PRS filenames, the HP LaserJet IIID printer was actually using the printer definition for the HP LaserJet III printer. Because the HP LaserJet III printer cannot print duplex, the print job printed on two different pages instead of printing duplex.

To work around this problem, the .PRS filename for each printer can be changed so they are no longer identical. This may be done as follows:

1.      While in WP, Press Print (Shift-F7).
2.      Press Select Printer (S), then Additional Printers (2).
3.      Highlight the printer and press Enter.
4.      At the lower left corner it will read Filename: and the filename of the printer (i.e., HPLASIII.PRS).
5.      To change the filename, simply change a letter or delete a letter, or type in a new name (.PRS should remain as the extension). Then press Enter.
6.      Press Exit (F7) until the document screen appears.
