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

Problem

Symptoms: This customer has an HP LaserJet Series II printer with an Adobe PostScript emulation cartridge. The customer is complaining that WordPerfect takes too long to print with the PostScript cartridge in the printer. The customer would like to initialize the printer with the PostScript commands (or Prologue) and have the commands stay in the printer's memory. When printing with WP, the prologue is sent with each print job. Solutions: The prologue can be sent once to the printer. To change the printer driver to accomplish this, follow these steps:
1.      Enter the PTR program, retrieve the .PRS file, and press Enter on the PostScript printer driver name
2.      Cursor to Printer Commands and press Enter
3.      Highlight Initialize at Start of Print Job and press Enter
4.      Delete the word Prologue from the expression
5.      Cursor up to the expression next to Initialize Printer (download fonts, etc.)
6.      After init, press the Space Bar once and type prologue
7.      Exit the PTR program by pressing Alt-F7 and save the modified .PRS file.
This will allow the customer to enter WP and initialize the printer with the prologue. The reason WP does not ship with this type of setup is that if something happens and the printer is reset, the settings set up from the prologue will be lost. This will not be changed in the shipping driver.
