5439.0. "No Trailing FormFeed When Printing With LPD Symbiont" by COL01::VSEMUSCHIN (Duck and Recover !) Wed Apr 16 1997 05:24

    OpenVMS VAX v6.2, UCX V4.1 unpatched and ECO2
    
    When file is printed via the LPD based queue no trailing formfeed will
    be sent to printer, so that next file will start at the next line.
    I checked it turning the printer in hex dump mode - there actually no
    trailing formfeed. The dump produced by debug flags shows too no
    formfeed after the last file's character.
    
    When the queue with the same characteristics will formed via LATSYM
    to the same printer (using now its serial port) last form feed will
    be sent. So I can think, that there is something wrong with LPD
    symbiont.
    
    Is this problem known ? Is it corrected with the next patch ?

    I tried to define UCX$LPD_VMS_FLAGPAGES to 1 but got nor FormFeeds
    neither FlagPages printed.

    .... hrrrr ....
    
    LPD Symbiont doesn't perform formatting at all. All data will be sent 
    from input to output as is (as in UNIX). So one who want to have  old 
    good VMS  formating should define LAYUP queue with UCX$TELNETSYM as a
    processor as it is specified in last paragraph of Chapter 7 of UCX 
    Management Manual.
    
    Easy ...
