If you are using AppleShare PC and find that your LaserWriter takes about
three to four minutes to print a single page from WordPerfect, your problem
may be that WordPerfect and the DOS "Copy" command are not immediately
sending an "end-of-document" code to the LaserWriter.
Without this "end-of-document" code, the LaserWriter has no way of knowing
it has received all of the output from the computer. This causes the
LaserWriter to wait until it times out. When it times out, it assumes the
file has been completely received and prints it. This timeout is generally
two to three minutes, but can be changed with a PostScript program.
AppleShare PC has an option in the Chooser that allows you to set the
number of seconds the LPT port must be inactive after a print job before an
"end-of-document" code is automatically sent.
You also can send an "end-of-document" code to the LaserWriter immediately
after printing by typing Ctrl-Alt-F10.
