WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user cannot get anything to print from WP 5.1. She has an HP 26/86D defined as an HP LaserJet. She is using a spooling device called Share Spool. All other software and DOS will print. WP sends the job, but the printer doesn't recognize or receive any information. She is printing to COM1:19200,n,8,1,off. She has used the switch in back of her computer to switch to 19200 baud, and her mode command sets COM1 to 19200 baud. At 9600 baud, and the printer works fine. Solutions: All of these factors need to be involved in order to print out at 19200 baud on the HP LaserJet: The DOS version has to be able to handle 19200, WP needs to be set for 19200 in the port selection, and the printers dip switches need to be set for 19200. However if other programs are only capable of printing out at 9600, and the printer is left at 19200 there will be a problem. The customer will have to set the printer back to 9600 for their other programs.
