Problem

Symptoms: Printing on DEC Pathworks 4.0 to an IBM 4019 LaserPrinter gives a trailing blank page at the end of the print job. Solutions: This is not a WordPerfect problem. The customer should contact DEC. DEC has a patch which should fix the problem. The patch is S4.OD, which corrects the problem for most printers, including HP printers. There have still been some problems with printing to IBM 4019 printers and PostScript printers, even with the patch. DEC is aware of this problem. One customer reported that he was working around the problem by putting the IBM 4019 in a plotting mode. This can be done with the following steps:
1.      Turn the printer off
2.      Press blue page orientation button on the far right
3.      While holding the button turn the printer back on

This will put the printer in a plotting mode. By putting the printer in this mode you cannot take advantage of the IBMPDDS printer language, and printing will be slower. WP does not have a driver that supports printing in this mode.
