WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: If the user receives the error message: "Read Fault Error Reading Device LPT1" (or COM1) when doing a test print from DOS, it means that DOS was unable to read the specified device; more specifically, there is no such port. If the user gets "Write Fault Error Reading Device LPT1," it means that DOS could not write data to the specified device that it was sending to due to a bad port, bad cable, not hooked up securely, etc. Also, if the user gets "1 File Copied" but nothing prints, it may mean there is no such port.
