  31. |    Host Print and 3270 Screen Print problems after the      |                 
  32. |    OS/2 V2.0 ServicePak (XR06055) is applied. Some symptoms |                 
  33. |    are: First page of host print job is missing.            |                 
  34. |         Blank first page of host print job.                 |                 
  35. |         Error PMVxxxx indicating corrupt metafile.          |                 
  36. |                                                             |                 
  37. |    Solution:                                                |                 
  38. |    In the Printer Object Settings select the Queue Options  |                 
  39. |    tab then select Printer Specific Format. A raw data file |                 
  40. |    will be created instead of a metafile. Reference APAR    |

  44. |    3270 Print Screen (SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN) fails with SYSTEM |                 
  45. |    ERROR in Emulator Print Control when attempting to print |                 
  46. |    to the Print Server after the OS/2 V2.0 ServicePak       |                 
  47. |    (XR06055) has been applied.                              |                 
  48. |                                                             |                 
  49. |    Solution:                                                |                 
  50. |    This problem has been documented in APAR IC04859         |                 
  51. |    for the LAN product.                                     |                 
  52. |                                                             |                 
  53. | 3. 05/24/93                                                 |                 
  54. |    Print Server fails with 0044 0000C003 while attempting   |                 
  55. |    to print host file. The Print Server is running the      |                 
  56. |    LEXMARK SPOOL UTILITY which routes output to remote      |                 
  57. |    printers attached to 4033 devices on the LAN. VTAM was   |                 
  58. |    generating a SNA return code of 081C for this failure.   |                 
  59. |                                                             |                 
  60. |    Solution:                                                |                 
  61. |    This problem was resolved by installing the latest       |                 
  62. |    LEXMARK SPOOL UTILITY and changing the Network Adapter   |                 
  63. |    Print Utility Timeout parameter from 60 to 90. As of     |                 
  64. |    05/21/93, the latest level of 4033 code available on     |                 
  65. |    the LEXMARK BBS (606/232-5238 or T/L 445-5238) is v1.2.  |                 
  66. |    Download file 4033V12.EXE from the BBS (about 200K bytes)|

  68. | 4. 05/26/93                                                 |                 
  69. |    Host Print job wraps at column 80 on HP Laserjet printer |                 
  70. |    even though PM_Q_RAW is used.                            |                 
  71. |                                                             |                 
  72. |    Solution:                                                |                 
  73. |    A possible circumvention is to check the CPI setting in  |                 
  74. |    Emulator Print Control,  Print Style. If it is set to 10 |                 
  75. |    change it to 17 CPI. The emulator uses an algorithm that |                 
  76. |    looks at the print line coming down in the job stream    |                 
  77. |    compares it with the space allocated for it to print in, |                 
  78. |    which is limited by print density (CPI) and page size    |                 
  79. |    (job properties). This plus the margins (which are fixed |                 
  80. |    on the HP) determine how many characters per line are    |                 
  81. |    printed.                                                 |                 
  82. |                                                             |                 
  83. | 5. 06/26/93                                                 |                 
  84. |    Host print job prints several lines on one page then     |                 
  85. |    skips to next page to continue printing what should have |                 
  86. |    been contents of the original page. If JOB ICON VIEW of  |                 
  87. |    of the printer is viewed it will indicate that the Host  |                 
  88. |    print job is a series of several smaller print jobs.     |                 
  89. |                                                             |                 
  90. |    Solution:                                                |                 
  91. |    Go to EMULATOR PRINT CONTROL > PRINT OPTIONS for the     |                 
  92. |    3270 Print Session and change END OF JOB TIMEOUT to      |                 
  93. |    specific and increase this value.                        |
