If they are running the DOS version of WP from within Windows things may be a
bit tougher and a different LaserJet or DeskJet model may be a better choice.
See the WordPerfect driver page at:
http://www.wpdos.org for a bunch of useful
information on WP both in DOS and Windows.
Specifically, the 1012 only has a USB port, and does not run PCL. WP5
DOS will not be able to use it at all with a normal set up. However,
the hacks described on the site mentioned (specifically
<
http://www.wpdos.org/anyprinter.html>) will allow it to work (by
rerouting the print stream to a translator and then to the USB port)
-- be sure you can set this up before buying the 1012. Otherwise, go
up a model to the 1150 which has PCL and a parallel port, for about
$100 more. Generally the absolute cheapest model has had a lot of
corners cut anyway.
