5565.0. "LPD printing problems" by LISTIM::MANOEL () Wed Jun 04 1997 14:09

Hi,
I have a costumer which have some lpd queues that are printing to a HP 4M printer.
The problem is: 

	- On the VAX system with UCX 4.0 the printing is working fine.

	- On the Alpha system with UCX 4.1 the printing of the reports is
	  generating the first page with less 1 line than the following pages.

They are using a form created for the specific printer.
The printcap entries for this printer are as follows:

HP4M|hp4m:\
	:lf=/SYS$COMMON/UCX_LPD/HP4M.LOG:\
	:lp=HP4M:\
	:rp=TEXT:\
	:sd=/SYS$COMMON/UCX_LPD/HP4M:

If someone as any idea please help me on this.
Many thanks,

Joao

Seen this as well. I think this problem was introduced in ECO 3 of UCX
V4.0, in the release notes of that ECO:

        Problem:

        When printing to remote LPD queue with /SETUP,
        multiple line setup is all sent as a single line with
        no line separators.

        Solution:

        After every setup module line read from the device
        control library add LF to the stream.

        Reference:

        CFS.36714

I have an IPMT open for this (CFS.51026).

Regards,

Oswald
