    Stumped by WP5 problem

    Locked

    I’m trying to solve a problem with an HP4000 printer on a PII 400 running windows 98 and wordperfect 5 through a DOS window. Ever so often the printer produces a blank sheet with smiley faces when printing from the wordperfect and even mpre serois sometimes it freezes the whole machine. The setup used to work on a windows 95 machine and the beta version of Win98 and I have tried using the latest drivers for both wordperfect and windows. Short of reverting to the old system is there any effective and lasting fix?

      WordPerfect 5.x

      Based on what I know about WordPerfect 5.1,
      there are drivers that it uses which do not
      necessarily correspond with the Windows
      drivers. You should be able to get by just
      fine with the HP LaserJet 4 or 4+ WordPerfect
      drivers, since the actual printer will
      interpret HP PCL 5 commands the same way. Any
      previous driver, such as the LaserJet III or
      the LaserJet II, should work as well.
