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

Problem

WordPerfect does not pause when "Prompt to Load" is set to Yes and when you are printing to a network printer. WordPerfect will not prompt you to "Insert Form And Press G To Continue." Is this working as designed? In version 4.2, you were not allowed to print manually fed paper to a network printer, but in 5.0 you could. It makes more sense to use the forms option in WP, but the customer would like WP to prompt him.

Answer:

This is working as designed. Printing to a network printer is different than printing to a stand-alone because the network will not take action on the job until it has been received in its entirety. WordPerfect prints to the network just like it would print to disk. WP will not prompt to load if you answer Yes when asked if it is a network printer or if you use 'Other' as your Port selection.

WordPerfect is is working as designed. Networks respond to print jobs as one whole piece, rather than a group of separate pages.
