WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer's printer, a Fujitsu DL3400, does not perform properly if the switches are not set to double spacing. He set the printer line spacing to be 3 lines per inch and printed a two-page document. The printer fed a blank page between the first and second pages of the document. If the printer is set to 6 lines per inch (which is the factory default), then no extra pages are printed. Shouldn't the codes sent by WordPerfect override the current printer settings? Solutions: WordPerfect printer drivers are designed to work with factory default settings. If the printer performs differently with various settings, the printer must be set to factory defaults. The reason for this is that WP is not able to detect the mode that the printer is in, and therefore cannot write for the various modes in the driver.
