Network Printer Will Not Print Job Until Exit |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer is using a stand alone computer with a network printer, and the print job does not release until he exits or shells out of WordPerfect. Solutions: The most common answer is that WordPerfect is waiting for a signal from the printer saying that it is ready for the data. Until it receives a signal, the printer holds the job. By exiting or shelling out, the job is released automatically. The way to fix this is for the network to re-route the job in WP. If they are using LPT1 as the port, try PRN as the port. This does not always work, but they can sometimes get around the problem. They can also use the Shift-Alt-* on some network versions, and this will release the print job, or they can use a network version of WP on the single computer. |
