I've just started using WPWIN over WP and have enjoyed it immensely.  until
now.  I want to use Windows fonts instead of the WPWIN fonts for my printer
because the WPWIN printer driver only allows me 4 different types of fonts (I
have an Epson LQ-570).

Well, according to the manual, this is a simple process.  Just go to "Select
Printer" under the "File" menu and <select> WINDOWS instead of WORDPERFECT.
Right?  Wrong.  When I try to select it, the following error pops up:

"Error updating printer information.  Most probable cause is not enough memory
 and/or disk space."

Neither memory or disk space should be a problem.  I have over 11MB disk space
free and over 3.5MB memory free when WPWIN is running.  (These stats are from
HP's Dashboard for Windows.)  Am I doing something wrong?  Do I have to
reinstall WPWIN with the Windows driver selected?  There has to be a better
(and quicker) way.

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm sick of only 4 fonts when I have over 20
Windows True Type fonts available.

Brian
