#9202 Error: Error R
In some cases, an Error: Error R may occur when trying to print from WordPerfect®. In 90% of cases, this error is due to the /etc/hosts file missing from the system. If there is no /etc/hosts file, it means that there is an invalid path when going into wpdest. If WordPerfect cannot read wpdest, it cannot execute the print server.
The error may also occur when WordPerfect doesnt recognize the format of /etc/qconfig on unsupported AIX platforms (i.e. 4.3+).
Troubleshooting
Go into Print, (4) Printer Control. If you find an Error: Error R listed in the Printer Control, proceed with the following steps:
- Log in as Root and get to a Linux®/UNIX prompt
- Type the following: more /etc/hosts
- If the file is missing, an error should return stating that there is no such file or directory
- Create a hosts file as follows:
- Type vi /etc/hosts
- Type i
- Type 127.0.0.1
- Press TAB.
- Type localhost
- Press ESC twice.
- Type :wq! and press ENTER.
Relaunch WordPerfect and try printing as both Root and as a User.
