Has anyone experienced a problem with printing from within Word Perfect
using pc-nfs as a file server?

We are using both and when we print from within Word Perfect the print job
gets split into two files.  The first is typically only 5 to 25 characters
long, but it splits the escape sequences up that Word Perfect is sending
to the printer.  The result is a document that has in the upper left hand
corner a string of 3 or 4 characters and numbers.  The rest of the
document is usually ok.  

We have looked in the spooler and the files are split by the time they
reach there.

As of now we are printing to disk and then "net printing" the file to the
printer and that works just fine, but it is a hassle.

If anyone has experienced this problem, please let me know, and if anyone
has a fix for this, that would be heavenly.

Thanks in advance.
