Problem

Symptoms: A customer received the error "Printer Not Accepting Data" in Control Printer while printing with the Citizen and Standard Printer definitions. Solutions: Selecting Other for the Port in the Select Printer: Edit screen and entering LPT1 corrected the problem. FYI: Another customer experiencing this error could print from DOS as well as from another word processor. The port was already set to LPT1, but the customer still selected Other (8) and typed in LPT1. This sent the job to the printer as if it were a DOS file and bypassed the diagnostic tests that WPs LPT1 selection performs before sending the job to the printer. This worked for the customer. When this happens, it is the cable that is causing the job not to print.
