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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer prints to disk using a PostScript printer driver. He takes the print to disk to a UNIX system and tries to print it on a PostScript printer. This causes errors on the printer. This worked fine using the 01/19/90 release, but the customer has experienced the problem only after updating to 08/20/90. Solutions: The problem could not be duplicated in-house with the customer's files. The problem is with his UNIX system converting the file to print through to his printer. WordPerfect has made changes in the program to reduce the amount of text going to the printer, but the output is still valid PostScript information. This is why an earlier release of DOS WP worked and the current did not. The software will not be changed to the old method because the new method works, and many people would complain about the slowness of printing.
