Is anyone using a TRS80 DWP-510 printer on a PC with WORDPERFECT.
I defined the printer from the setup menu and everything works
great (subscripts superscripts underline etc).
However, when I go to print the document a second time it just
prints junk.
It requires a power off of the TRS1000 before it will print properly
again.
An example of the problem:
First time it will print the word "testing" correctly.
The second time it prints "t s i g".
The WordPerfect 4.1 manual has the DWP 510 printer marked as
limited support, which means they do not have the printer in-house
and as a result, can't test the definitions.
I thought I would ask the NET before spending the money on a long
distance call, just to find out they don't know what the problem is.
