WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer using a Daystar board received the error "Printer Not Accepting Characters." However, a test print ("showpage") command at DOS worked fine. Solutions: The customer explained that the Daystar board is a Local Talk interface board used to print to the Apple LaserWriter across an Apple network. According to the manual, the port in WordPerfect has to be set to LPT3.PRN (by choosing 8 for Device or Filename and manually typing in LPT3.PRN). After setting the port to LPT3.PRN, the error no longer occurred.
