     I would guess it's a bug.  Since the Print rpogram is separate it
probably doesn't look at the defaults you setup when you installed
WordPerfect.

     Try starting the print program from the Workbench, then putting more
than one job in the print queue at a time.  When I try it the current copy
number changes to "1 of 16" and the binding width gets clobbered.  Has
anybody else seen that?  I would guess it does the same thing if you select
the print menu from WordPerfect, but I haven't tried it yet.

     Has anyone tried using the Star NX-1000 printer driver to print
Print:Printer.Tst?  I get several "printer trouble" requesters before
reaching the section on underline styles.  Then, instead of the
underlining, I get about three garbage characters, a form feed, 3 more
garbage characters, etc.  I stopped after five pages, so I don't know how
long that goes on.

     In version 4.1.9 I had a problem if I printed the current document
from the WordPerfect print menu.  After I shut down the WP disk icon
wouldn't go away.  Version 4.1.11 seems to have corrected this, but now I
have a similar problem when I print from the Print: disk.  The disk icon
for the documents I printed won't go away.  It looks like the print program
is failing to Unlock something.
