I need some help with a fujitsu dl5600 and Word Perfect 5.0.  We just upgraded
from wp4.2.  The printer worked fine with 4.2.  When we installed 5.0 the
document prints fine, but the tty line is not dropped. (When the printer is
waiting for the document it reads ONLINE: READY.  When it is printing it reads
BUSY.  When document is finished it reads ONLINE: READY again.  With 5.0 it
stays in the BUSY state after the document has finished printing.  We have to
unplug the data cord or turn the printer off to get back to the ONLINE: READY
state.  I have tried different stty line settings, hardware control etc but
nothing seems to help.  The Word Perfect people want to blame the printer but
the printer works fine with everything but their new package.

Any help would be appreciated.  Please e-mail.
