LaserWriters and WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS

[Scott Baret]

Has anyone ever used a LW other than an orignal or Plus with 5.1 for DOS? If so, which driver did you use?

Thinking of either a IINT or 16/600 PS for this. I don't have the IINT yet but I may have one coming my way very soon--I apparently have dibs on one.

Way back in the 1990s at work, we had NetWare print queues for a whole bunch of PostScript printers serving occasional WP 5.1 masochists. WP 5.1 was a "half supported" application (ie we got lumbered with it before anyone realised the support demands), so it was installed with the default drivers plus an upgrade for LW IINTs. WP shipped loads of PostScript drivers so hunt around for printer specific drivers. Otherwise use the IINT one, assuming that you can find it because it is very generic. For printing to A3 paper, there is a generic QMS driver.
