I was wondering if anyone could help me by giving me some advice on how to add additional printer drivers for wordperfect 5.1 for Dos. I have downnloaded the patches from Corel so where do I go from there?

Thanks,
Andrew

I don't know anything about the patches specifically, but to add additional printer drivers, you have to go to the wp51 directory and run the installation program to add printers to your wp51.

Andrew,
Look for a directory that has .prs and/or .all printer driver files in it. It is probably your wp51 directory, but it could be another one close by. Copy your downloaded driver files into that directory. Start WP and hit shift-F7. You should be able to select/setup your new printer from there. Good luck.
