WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: If a PostScript printer is printing code like the following, then the printer is not in PostScript mode.
%!PS-ADOBE
/wpdictbegin
/bdef{bind def} bind def

One way to verify this is by printing a status sheet from the printer. The other way to test the printer to see if it is in PostScript mode is to test it from DOS by doing the following:

Type the following from a DOS prompt:
COPY CON LPT1
SHOWPAGE
^D^Z

If the printer produces a blank page, it is in PostScript mode. If the printer needs a form feed and then has a page that says showpage on it, then the printer is not in PostScript mode.
