APPC Print Jobs Use 6 LPI Even if a Session Is Configured for 8 LPI (316286)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q316286

SYMPTOMS

Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) print jobs default to a setting of 6 lines per inch (LPI), even though the APPC print session is configured to use a setting of 8 LPI.

NOTE: This behavior does not occur if the APPC print session is configured to use a Printer Definition Table (PDT).

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the APPC print provider (Ppd5250.dll) does not honor the LPI setting configured in SNA Manager for APPC print sessions. The LPI value is always overwritten with the default value of 6 LPI.
