2026.0. "Printing Problems on DS900's" by VCOU03::BAINS () Sat Feb 18 1995 22:59

    I am not sure if this is the right conference, if not please point me
    to the correct one.
    
    We are replacing DS300's with Dechub900's and DS900TM's. We have no
    problems with printing from VMS to the customers HP laser printers. But
    when we try to print a MSword or Excel document it comes out garbage.
    The first few lines seem fine then it starts to overprint lines and
    also the font size goes to something like 1. We are running the latest
    firmware on the hubs and the DS900's and we have checked and double
    checked our settings on the servers using TSM. The customer is a credit
    union and has 14 branches each of which will be getting DS900's and
    Decrepeater 900's. The MSword and excel work fine on the DS300's. My
    question is are we missing something on the DS900's in our setup? It
    looks like some kind of handshake problem.
    Any help would be appreciated as the installation is come to a stop
    until this is resolved.
    
    Thankyou

    	Try disabling input flow control on each port of the DS900
    that has an HO Laserjet attached.

with our install.
