Error "Invalid Printer File" When Selecting P |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer who is working in 5.1 and retrieving a 5.0 document may receive the error message "Invalid Printer File" when selecting a paper size and type. If this occurs, check the Setup (Shift-F1) and see if "Format Retrieved Documents For Default Printer" is set to No. If so, change it to Yes. WordPerfect may be finding the 5.0 .PRS file which would cause this problem. Another possible fix for this would be to exit WordPerfect and enter again. One customer had added a form to her Paper Size/Type menu (Shift-F8, 2, 7). When she tried to go back into that screen, she got the error "Invalid Printer File." When she went into the Print menu and tried to Edit the printer selection (Shift-F7, S, 3), she got the same error. She tried to choose option 7, Update, but got the same error. Finally she exited out to DOS (closing all of the temporary files), and when she came back into WordPerfect, she could access all of the above listed menus without receiving the error message. |
