ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 36. Help for WordPerfect Printer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A WordPerfect printer object works much like an OS/2 printer object.  However,
if you drag and drop on a WP Printer object, WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows will
try to print the document(s) using its own WordPerfect print drivers, rather
than the OS/2 or Win-OS/2 print subsystem.

Therefore, using WordPerfect printer objects may allow you to print documents
to printers not supported by OS/2 or Win-OS/2.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 38. Help for WordPerfect Printers Folder ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In the Win-OS/2 system, printer definitions can be created in four ways:

o Windows drivers in your public .BIF

o Windows drivers in your private .BIF

o WordPerfect drivers in your public .BIF

o WordPerfect drivers in your private .BIF

When WordPerfect is first invoked, WordPerfect places all WordPerfect printer
drivers found in your private and public .BIFs, and all Windows drivers found
in your public .BIF, into the WordPerfect Printers folder.  The WordPerfect
Printers folder will be updated each time WordPerfect is invoked.

Windows drivers located in your private .BIF are automatically mapped to the
nearest compatible OS/2 printer driver using the Associate OS/2 Printers with
Windows Printers dialog box.

You can move the printer objects out of the WordPerfect Printers folder or
create a shadow of the printer object.  Printers are permanently added or
deleted from your WordPerfect Printers folder as you add and delete printer
definitions from the Select Printer dialog box in WordPerfect.

NOTE:  If you delete the WordPerfect Printers folders, all printer objects
found in your private and public .BIFs will appear on the desktop each time
WordPerfect is invoked.  If the WordPerfect Printers folder is deleted, you
must use SETUPOS2.EXE /wps to restore it.

When you drag and drop a WordPerfect document object to a printer object,
WordPerfect will print the document in the background.

If you are having difficulty printing from the LPTx printer port when using a
network printer, try using the corresponding LPTx.OS2 printer port.

print to a file using the filename LPTx.OS2.
