I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is using WordPerfect version 4.1 with the Hewlett Packard Laser Jet Plus printer. In particular, I need information on the proper procedures for sending printer escape codes (Comnd:<27> etc.) to the Laser Jet. By imbedding escape codes within a document, I have been able to shift the character pitch from 10 to 16.6 and back again to 10. However, I have not been able to select a font cartridge or change the stroke weight without sending an ESC E which of course resets the printer and ejects a page. Would also like to hear about other word processors on the Laser Jet. Jim Wolfe AT&T Bell Labs, Reading Pa. mhuxl!eflow

Microsoft Word provides support for many of the plug-in font cartridges for the Laserjet. It is not necessary to embed escape codes, you just format your text (select a font, size, and style) according to the cartridge you have selected. The escape sequences to change the type are generated when you print out your text. Keith M. Taylor hp-pcd!keith

We have some people here in Tulsa that have 9 PC's and 5 LJet's with
Word Perfect v4.1 and we called SSI and got (downloaded) a new set of
drivers for the LaserJet with support for *all* (It says so but I haven't
tried them all) of the current cartridges and some new sheet feeders
in January. So far everything is fine (the Zyad multi-bin feeders
had the flu for a while but all seems to be ok now). With the minor
exception of setting up a strange bin configuration for the Ziyad
we are pleased. I still like MS Word better for power-text type stuff,
but WP is easier to learn. I must confess that I prefer Alt-Key
combinations to function key abuse. However that is just my preference.
Enjoy
