Any one know why DCPS is not creating the blank page?
If it helps, the following lines are from a diagnostic log file (DCPS$JOB_xxx_DIAG.log) from a job when the blank page is created by placing a blank character before the FF. These lines preceed the lie "%!PS-Adobe":
%%[ status: idle ]%%
%%[ status: idle ]%%
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Printing using DCPS
Such form feeds are unnecessary with DCPS and with modern printers and/or symbionts.
The ^T and ^D commands as well as the status reply from the printer, as seen in your "diag" file are irrelevant. If you do a DIFFERENCES on the two log files, you'll see extra PostScript code in the job that has the leading space before the FF. This code produces the extra page.
Other symbionts, such as LPD and Telnet from TCP/IP Services, may process leading FFs differently. There's a logical name in the Telnet symbiont that affects this behavior.
The Xerox DocumentCentre printers are not supported by DCPS and are not planned for support in any future release. There is code in V2.5 that handles some of the issues with these printers, but the printers remain unsupported. There are some new Xerox models being added to V2.6, however, and field test should start later this month.

Re: Printing using DCPS
things when it attempts to print a zero
block length file (yes, we know it should be doing that, but sometimes it happens).
This in turn has led to stalls on
network based remote LPR/LPD printers.
Is that what I'm gathering?

Re: Printing using DCPS
The question is: does DCPS purposely ignore a "FF" when it is the first charater it sees or is this an "undocumented feature"?

SolutionThis change was made in 1989 for CPS V2.1 (CPS was the predecessor to DCPS) so it's been the behavior since then. I didn't find any place in the documentation that mentions this.
