GPF Problems with PFS:WindowWorks

There are some problems caused by the use of a Generic/Text Only printer
driver.  This driver is very basic and does not support Windows TrueType
fonts or wrapping options.  Text usually begins wrapping at the 5 inch mark
of the document.  There have also been occasions where the tutorial has
locked up because of the use of the Generic/Text Only printer driver.

These are the things you can do to correct this situation:

1. If you have a normal printer (HP, Epson, Panasonic, IBM, etc.)  install
that specific driver using the Control Panel. Open up (double-click) the
Main program group icon.  Open up the Control Panel icon, then the Printers
icon.  Now click on the Add button. From the list of printers, choose the
printer that is attached to your system and click on Install.  Now click on
Connect and choose the port (usually LPT1) that your printer is connected
to.  Now, click on Set Default Printer and then Close. Now, in WindowWorks,
select File, then Printer Setup on the menu bar in WindowWorks and
highlight your printer.

2. If you do not have a printer, you will need to set up a standard Windows
printer driver using the Control Panel procedure in the above step (the HP
LaserJet Series II works well).  Now, in WindowWorks, select File, then
Printer Setup on the menu bar in WindowWorks and highlight your printer.

3. If you are using the Generic/Text Only printer driver because you have a
daisy wheel printer, try to get a system-specific driver or try a basic
printer such as an Epson RX-80 or IBM Proprinter.

4. This problem can also occur if the printer you have is active, but has
not been selected; highlight it under File, then Printer Setup on the menu
bar in WindowWorks.

5. There have been some occasions where the video driver has also caused
this problem.  You can correct this by using the standard VGA driver in
Windows.

If you have any questions about this procedure, please post a note in the
PFS:WindowWorks topic area in the appropriate topic or forum area. Be sure
to include your DOS version and your model number (i.e., 2155-G44).
