WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: When installing Bitstream 3.0 for WP 5.0 and 5.1 a users particular printer may not appear on the View Control Panel. If it does not appear often time they can select the printer that emulates the one they are using and later in the installation the next printer list that appears may include their printer. This is the case with the Brother HL-8e, HP Series II, HP Series II addition and Kyocera F1000, F1010, F2010, and 3010. None of these printers appear on the initial printer list but do appear later if the HP LaserJet is selected while on the first screen.

Two printers that do not appear on either printer list are the NEC Silentwriter 860+ and LaserImage 1000 printers. In order for these printers to appear on the View Control Panel the user must change the Soft Font Format Type in the PTR program. To do this one would:

1.      Enter the PTR program
2.      Retrieve the WPHP2.ALL file, Press ENTER
3.      Cursor to Soft Font Format Type, Press ENTER
4.      Place an asterisk beside the soft font type HP Plus for the NEC printer (it will have originally been on Other) and beside the soft font type HP LaserJet Series II for the LaserImage printer
5.      Exit PTR and save the changes
6.       Try installing Bitstream again

After these steps have been taken the NEC Silentwriter 860+ should appear
on the View Control Panel. The same steps can be taken for the Panasonic
4450 printer.
