1734.0. "LN03+ printing problem" by ULYSSE::DAVID (Guy David @VBE) Fri Nov 06 1992 17:04

        Hello,
        
        Since today, we cannot print correctly from ALL-IN-1 to our LN03+ 
        printers, all the others (LN03r, LPS40, LPS20) are working fine.
        I tried to find out what has changed on our system to have such a 
        problem, but didn't succeed to explain it. 
        Maybe, someone here can help.
        
        The problem :
        When printing a message on a LN03+ printer, only first 4 lines 
        are printed and the job ends without any error messages. Bold 
        characters appear as normal characters.
        The printer is working properly from VMS.
        
        Our environment :
        VMS v5.5-1 (DECstep), ALL-IN-1 v3.0 BL123A (SSB).
        The printer is declared on VMS using CPS v4.1 and connected to a 
        Decserver. It is declared as follow under ALL-IN-1 :
        
        
          Printer Name:              IS_LN2
        
          Description:               LN03+ printer / ETC1 level A
          Format Printer Type:       LN03
          Destination Printer Type:  SYSTEM_PRINTER
          Print queue:               IS_LN2
        
        
        The Format Printer Type LN03 is the one we have since we upgraded 
        to v3.0 (last june). It uses the printer form OA$HLS_80 defined 
        as follow :
        
        OA$HLS_80 (stock=DEFAULT)              1112   OA$HLS_80
            /LENGTH=66 /MARGIN=(BOTTOM=6) /STOCK=DEFAULT /TRUNCATE 
        /WIDTH=255
        
        When I increase the /WIDTH parameter to 500 for example, it 
        prints more lines, but not all.
        
        
        Does someone have an idea on what is wrong ?
        
        Thanks for your help,
        
        Guy David.

	Guy, A similar problem that we had recently was sorted by removing the /TRUNCATE from the printer form definition. If this works - does anyone know why ? Chris
1734.2	It works here	ULYSSE::DAVID	Guy David @VBE	`Mon Nov 09 1992 11:05`	11
	Hello, I've removed the /TRUNCATE parameter from the form and it worked ok. It was defined /NOTRUNCATE in the A1V30START.com file. I've to look in the DECstep startup files for a command which modify it to /TRUNCATE and remove it. Thanks Chris for the help. Guy.
