WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer has an HP LaserJet III with a PostScript cartridge. He is using a PostScript driver. He selected a Legal Paper Size/Type and the location for his form was continuous. He forgot to load the legal paper tray in the printer when he sent his print job. Rather than the printer returning the message "PC Load Legal," it printed on the 8.5" x 11" paper. He felt that the printer should have paused with the message since the wrong tray was loaded. If the location of the form is set to Manual, then the printer does return the error message if the wrong paper is loaded. Solutions: There is no way to check for this with the PostScript language. This is a limitation of PostScript printers. Users will need to be careful about checking the paper tray before sending print jobs.
