Reset characters printing w/ CIFS print share
I can now print from OpenVMS apps to our TelnetSym printers, however when I connect my XP machine to the OpenVMS printer shared via CIFS, I get a page after my print job with VMS;2 on it.
The Telnet sym settings have not changed from our earlier version of OpenVMS, the only thing that has changed that I can see is that we are now using CIFS instead of Advanced Server. Any ideas on how to get rid of the VMS;2?

Re: Reset characters printing w/ CIFS print share
That particular character sequence is part of a control sequence that was used for formfeed suppression within SMBSRVSHR.EXE printing on OpenVMS, which implies the device control library is in use, but that the print queue may have changed?
CIFS 1.2 is current.
See http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/622 for related.

Re: Reset characters printing w/ CIFS print share
Did the print queue (also) change?
Did the printer (also) change?
What I know about this is here:
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/622
and (with some info on blank pages) here:
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/129
Your reported behavior implies a misconfiguration of the device control library files, or a problem with CIFS, or a problem with the symbiont, or some sort of a printer configuration issue or printer change.
Get current on CIFS, with current patches for CIFS and for OpenVMS V8.4, and it would likely be best for you to call the folks at the HP support center directly. HP can get you the patches for VMS as well as any that are available for CIFS 1.2.

Re: Reset characters printing w/ CIFS print share
I have no idea if it will fix your problem, I just know that there were many, many fixes in V1.2.
