Before I buyed the LaserJet 6P, I worked with a LaserJet 4L and there were  
no problems with WordPerfect 5.1 too.
But now it's really very annoying, that COREL obviously has decided to  
bury our good old WP 5.1 (in the meantime I heard, that COREL really won't  
produce any new driver for WP 5.1)...
What's actually about WP 5.1+ in USA? Can you still buy it or has it  
disappeared from the stores? In Germany, WP 5.1+ never has been released  
and there never was a possibility to buy a US-version of 5.1+ (the old 5.1  
without "+" has been taken from market over 4 years ago)...     :-(((

Hmmm, the german WP 5.1-driver for the LaserJet 4L did it very well!

No, most unfortunately I don't. An inquiry to Hewlett Packard (Europe)  
stayed without answer...    :-(

Let me hear if you find out anything!   ;-)

I tried, but any Windows-program was to slow or to instable to work with  
it (I'm a scientist [biologist] and I'm often writing expert opinions with  
more than 300 pages including a lot of pictures and tables)... The good  
old WP 5.1 (DOS) is very quick and it never will shoot down the computer!

Hihi!       ;-)))
