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

Problem

Solutions: When running the 5.1 installation program on a network, there is no area to specify whether the printer selected will be a local or network printer. The network administrator must select all printers that are on the network, local and network, and install them together. All of these will be included in the master .SET file, and the administrator must then enter WordPerfect using {WP as the user initials to set the ports for the network printers. After this, when the users enter WP, they must individually enter into the Printer Select Menu, select the ports for their own local printers, and delete those that don't apply to them. For example, on a network with 10 stations, each station having its own different brand of printer plus two network printers, the installation procedure is to select all 12 printers together, set the ports, then have each user delete the nine printers that weren't intended for them.
