251.0. "Print Screen Questions and Problem" by AKO484::SHEPRO (NOW what'd I do?) Mon Feb 20 1989 08:24

DECWindows SDC 5.1
VMS 5.1
WS2000 - 6Mb
Printer - LA75 with LA210 ID

When I attempt to use the Print Screen Feature from the session manager, the
output to the printer starts almost half way across the page.  Then after the 
printing is finished, if a regular, if I may use that expression, text file is 
printed to that printer, a print queue, the LA75 is set to print at 12 or so 
lines to the inch, set up by the previous print screen function.

Both problems were addressed earlier somewhere in one of the conferneces, with
a work around to capture the print screen output to a file and then print that.

That file contains the same escape seqences that would normally be sent to the 
printer in the first place.

As a work around to my second problem, I've had to create a modual in 
SYS$LIBRARYLSYSDEVCTL.TLB to reset the printer to 6 lines/inch and to do a
$SET QUEUE/SEPARARE=(RESET=modual).

Should I QAR these?
