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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer couldn't print any documents when running WordPerfect under OS/2 2.0. The print job would leave WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS or Windows, but it would not print through Novell to a network printer. Solutions: The customer should change the port to LPT1.OS2 or C:\OS2\SPOOL\LPT1.OS2. If this does not work and the customer is loading NETX in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the customer should REM (remark) out the NETX line and the print job will print. OS/2 loads NetWare drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file. However, some servers need NetWare Shell to be loaded from a workstation. If DOS programs are being accessed, then loading NETX from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is the only way to accomplish this.
