I have also encounter the same problem before.  What happens was that the 
printer that I've selected in Wordperfect did not match the one I was 
printing out on to.  The printer that you are printing on has to match 
that of the one you selected.  I'm not sure if an emulation selection
also works.

Maybe you should try printing it as a WP file, instead of a Dos file on to
the disk.  I printed mine as a WP file (with the right selection of printer),
and proceed to ftp it to the printer, and it came out beautifully (both
graphics and text).  By the way the printer use was LJII.

Hopes that helps.
