I have Windows 3.1 on my laptop and my printer is an HP officejet.  I
was always able to print merrily away, and then a few days ago,
Wordperfect 6.0 for Windows wouldn't print.  So I tried printing from
Notepad and a couple of other places.  All had the same bad result.  I
had changed nothing (at least, not on purpose) regarding printing from
Windows.

    From Wordperfect, the error message read: "the printer on this port
    is offline or not selected.  Make sure the printer is online and   
    then resume the print queue."  (If the Print Manager is on, this   
    message doesn't appear, but the print job is listed as "stalled" by
    the Print Manager).

    From Notepad, the error message (in a box) reads:  "Data is being  
    sent to the printer and the printer is not responding.  Verify that
    the printer is connected and turned on..."

I then exited Windows and I CAN print from DOS, so my cables, etc., are
okay.  Also, I have several other computers, and they have no problem
printing to the HP officejet.

Obviously, something got screwed up in Windows.  The HP printer is
selected as the default printer.  The same thing happens whether or not
Print Manager is installed.  

I need to hear from someone who knows how to "unlock" this situation.
