Title: Port Set Incorrectly For a Network Printer
Product: WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS
Number: 1051-5/94

Problem
Your document fails to print when you send it to the network printer.

Concept
When you use a network printer, your computer sends print information through a cable at the back of your computer to the network. The location where the cable connects to your computer is called a port. You must select the correct network and printer port in WordPerfect.

Note: The 05/31/91 Install program prompts "Is this a Network Printer?" if you have installed WordPerfect on a network other than Novell. You are able to set up a network printer from Install without having to edit the port later.

Solution
Select the correct network printer port.

For WordPerfect 5.0 or 5.1 on a Novell network version 2.15 or above,

1. Choose O for Other.

2. Type PRINTQ_0 for a Novell network.
      
            or

Type SERVER/PRINTQ_0 for an attached named file server.

For WordPerfect 4.2, WordPerfect 5.0 before 11/15/88, or a Novell version before 2.15,

1. Choose O for Other.

2. Type the device number (0-4).

For non-Novell network users,

1. Set the port to LPT1 or LPT2 for the network to capture the port.

2. Start WordPerfect.

3. Press Print (Shift+F7), then choose Select (S).

4. Edit the port, then answer Yes when prompted "Is this a Network Printer?".
