Hello all,

Situation:
        Small (<10 workstations) novell network running 286 v2.15c
        Individual copies of WordPerfect on each hard disk
Problem:
        When trying to send mail-merge letters to the HP IID printer
        via the capture command, the first 5 or so letters get printed,
        then the printer comes up with an error message that gets
        translated to "bad command" .  This happens consistently across
        different letters.

        I recommended trying capture with varying timeout values.  They
        say that they tried /ti=30   =45  =90 =120  all with the same
        results.

Question:
        Does anyone know if this is a problem with capture, with the
        printer, or with the codes that word perfect is sending to
        the printer?  Is there anything that I should have them
        check in printcon or printdef that would account for this
        kind of a problem?
