Blank Page May Be Printed at the Start of Host Print Jobs (286157)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP3
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP4
This article was previously published under Q286157 SYMPTOMS
Host print jobs may print an extra blank page at the beginning of the print job after you apply SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) or SP4. In addition, the same symptoms may occur when you upgrade from SNA Server 4.0 SP2 or earlier to Host Integration Server 2000.
The blank page is printed when the host print job includes a Form Feed (0x0C) at the beginning of the print job, even though the FEEDIGNOREINITIAL option is configured for the LU3 print session.
The problem does not occur with SNA Server 3.0 SP4, SNA Server 4.0 SP1, or SNA Server 4.0 SP2 when you print the same LU3 print job when the FEEDIGNOREINITIAL option is configured.
Note This problem can occur with both LU1 and LU3 print jobs.
CAUSE
The FEEDIGNOREINITIAL parameter is not checked because of a change that was made to the host print service in SNA Server 4.0 SP3.
