[bit.listserv.novell] wordperfect printing

RUTHERFORD@CTSTATEU.BITNET (John Rutherford/Faculty Computing Center) (02/01/90)

We would like to use multiple copies of wp5.0 loaded on a file server, and run
from workstations.  IT seems to work fine except for print jobs.  Print jobs
are only processed after exiting wordperfect.  Are there any simple solutions
to this (other than using the network version instead)??

Thanks,

Try setting /TI=15 (time out 15 sec) on the capture stmt. It works for us.

The way to ensure that print jobs get printed before exiting
WordPerfect when running the non-network version, is to set a timeout
in the capture command.  The flag is /ti=NN where NN is the time in
seconds to close a print job if no new information is sent.


Also, for WordPerfect, you will probably want to make sure in
PRINTDEF/CON that the printer queue is set for Byte Stream.
