We have just installed an "Invisible Network" primarily to run wp 5.0 on pc's without hard disks. We also intend to use multiple copies of the non-network version of WP5.0 rather than one copy of the network version. Everything is fine, except that when we print to the network printer (attached to the server) the job isn't printed until after exiting wp5.0. At one time I though I read a solution to this problem (and of course ignored it at the time). Does anyone have an answer?? Thanks, John Rutherford Central Conn STate Univ.

Hello! Re: WordPerfect 5.0 not printing on a network until the user exits WordPerfect. The reason is that WordPerfect doesn't send an end-of-file at the end of a print file spooling to the server, and consequently the server keeps waiting for more characters until the user exits WordPerfect. This problem was corrected in late versions of 5.0: I have a copy from 6/12/89 that does not have this problem. I would assume that WordPerfect 5.1 does not have this problem, but I don't know that for certain. Hope this helps, -Naama + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | Naama Zahavi-Ely | | Project ELI E-Mail EliNZE@YaleVM.BITNET | | Yale Computer Center Zahavi-Ely-Naama@Yale.Edu | | 175 Whitney Ave | | New Haven, CT 06520 | | (203) 432-6680 EXT. 341 | + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- +

Try using the key combination CTRL ALT *. This is the necessary combination for an IBM Token Ring Network.
