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

Problem

When attempting to print to a HP Laserjet 4L from WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS running under Windows 3.x, the message, "Printer Not Accepting Characters" is received in Control Printer (SHFT-F7, 4).

Answer:

Disabling the HP Laserjet 4L Printing System software may correct the problem.

Details:

It seems the Printing System reserves the printer port for Windows print jobs only, thus preventing DOS print jobs from reaching the port.
