Printer problem
Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:39:28 -080
I'm using WP11 in XP with a Brother 2070 laser printer through a USB port. 
Currently I'm getting the red "paper" error button everytime I try to
print 
from Word Perfect, but I can print web pages and from my spreadsheet (Lotus 
123).  I remember sometime agao that there is some obscure setting in Word 
Perfect that has to be set apart from the usual printer properties but I 
can't remember what it is.  I hope somebody can help me.  Thanks tons.

Windwatcher,

You could usefully try renaming the appropriate part of the Windows 
registry.  In the registry, edit
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\PrintEngine\11
to read
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\PrintEngine\11OLD

Then launch WPWin11 and the registry should have new entries for
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\PrintEngine\11

Ask if you need advice on making this registry change.

Thanks very much  I located the registry entry but I'm concerned because in 
addition to this printer, I have several other printers installed there. 
In the PrintEngineFolder, there is a subfolder named "11" - is that
where I 
would add the OLD?  THen all the various printers and misc settings are in 
subfolders under 11.

Yes, the proposal is for you to rename the \11 to \11OLD.  You should 
find that re-launching WPWin11 will cause the current list of printers 
to be re-created.  I have tested this several times to satisfy myself 
that the advice is safe.

If by any chance this should not occur as expected, you can reverse the 
name change from \11OLD back to \11
