Printing blank page after the trailer between print jobs.

[Jorge Cocomess]

Greetings,

When I print to a VMS print queue, I get a header, trailer, and then a blank page. It seems though that I am getting this on all of my print queues. I would like to eliminate this blank page. Here is the configuration of one of my print queues;
Printer queue HP5SI_FIN, idle, on CROW::"HP5SI_FIN:9100", mounted form A
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FLAG=ONE,FORM=DEFAULT,TRAILER) /LIBRARY=HP
Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=TCPIP$TELNETSYM
/PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /SEPARATE=(RESET=(HP_RESET))



Any ideas on how I should proceed?

Thanks!!

J

Ian - These links are not very helpful and very confusuing process. If you know the symtom and have answers for it then that's great. Some of us are new to VMS and need a little hand holding more than other.

The real answer is: DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$TELNETSYM_SUPPRESS_FORMFEEDS 35
$ stop/que/next Name_of Your_Que
$ Start/que Name_of_Your_Que

That's how you take care of the blank pages with OpenVMS 7.3-2

Jorge,

maybe you should consider user DCPS (it's free with OpenVMS, but must be installed seperately). It gives you much more control over the printer's features.

the trailer is defined in your default

/DEFAULT=(FLAG=ONE,FORM=DEFAULT,TRAILER)
if you change it in

/DEFAULT=(FORM=DEFAULT)
the trailer is gone

flage=one is probely your header page

[Jorge Cocomess]

The header and trailer page I do want. I do not want a blank page between the header and the trailer. As I stated previously, the fixed has been in place and I'm now getting no more blank pages.

Good day!!
