Error Printing from WordPerfect to PostScript Printer

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you print from WordPerfect to a PostScript printer using the Microsoft PostScript printer driver, you may receive an error page with the following text:

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: wb

CAUSE

This error occurs because printing in Portability mode causes the printer's memory to be restored on a per-page basis. WordPerfect sends PostScript commands to the printer and tries to access them across pages.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Printers.



2. Use the right mouse button to click the PostScript printer, then click Properties on the menu that appears.



3. On the PostScript tab, change the PostScript output format from Portability to Optimize For Speed.



4. Click OK.
