2757.0. "ALL-IN-1 V3.0 HP PRINTER PROBLEM" by HGOVC::STEPHENYEUNG () Wed May 26 1993 13:52

    One of my customer is using ALL-IN-1 V3.0 default HP printer table to
    print a WPS-PLUS file to a HP Laser-Jet II printer and find that an
    extra page was found everytime at the end. When they print it to a DEC
    LPS20 printserver, no extra page was found.
    
    The customer used a datascope to monitor the progress and found out
    that 66 LF was found at the end of the file on the HP printer.
    
    Is it a normal behaviour or any workaround ?
    
    Thanks in advance.

2757.1A WPS_PLUS Formatter problemIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Wed May 26 1993 14:5312
This looks like it is a WPS-PLUS Formatter problem because when the HP 
WPS-PLUS Printer Table is used the problem occurs and when the WPS-PLUS 
Printer Table defined for the LPS20 is used the problem goes away.

ALL-IN-1 has called the correct formatter, with the correct device type,
and submitted the resulting listing file to the correct printer queue. 

You will have to ask in the WPS-PLUS conference for further information.

    Believe it or not you actually need to add an extra form feed to stop
    it throwing a form feed ??!! Do this from the Printer Setup option PS
    in the the printer table utility :-
    
                                     Printer Setup
    
             Initialization sequence:   <ESC>E
    
             Termination sequence:      <FF><ESC>E
    
             Page size:
    
             Maximum Page size:                 0
             Number of page ejects:             0
             Loaded page left in printer (Y/N): N

    Is he printing from the same account that does the changes ? Does he do
    SC to save the changes ? Is he definately using the changed table
    (print to FILE and check escape codes) ? Has he made the table system wide ?
    FREE::WPS-PLUS note 541 seems to agree with the solution I gave which
    has worked for other customers...
    
    Regards,

    the result is the same, below are the customer's .PRA and the
