Blank Page When Printing Across IBM PC LAN |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When printing from WordPerfect (5.0 and 5.1 all dates) across an IBM PC LAN (1.32), an extra form feed would follow each job or the buffer light would remain lit after the last page of the print job and a blank page would be ejected before the first page of the next job. Solutions: When you share the print device, i.e., LPT1 on the server using the NET SHARE command, you must include a /NFF for a no form feed. This disables the automatic FF IBM does which WP does not need or require. This will allow the printer to respond correctly. Steps to correctly share the print device: 1. Must be done on the server 2. From a DOS prompt only, not from the IBM PC LAN NET menus 3. The syntax is: NET SHARE PRINTER=LPT1 /NFF (PRINTER represents the name of the shared printer device on the server. You will need to know this to correctly use the print device on the station. An /AFC switch may appear in some NET SHARE command strings. This stands for automatic font control.) |
