SYMPTOM

1. CSCON unable to support a selection list of more than 50 print jobs when
HostPrint is running on NetWare 4.0x.

2. HPCONSOL crashed when more than 20 print jobs were defined.

3. HPCONSOL would fail in large HostPrint environments due to size of buffer
allocated to HPCONSOL.

4. HPOBJECT failed when the NetWare server had the Accounting option installed
and the Account Balance activated.

5. An extra Form Feed and a PostScript error could be issued at the end of a
HostPrint print job.

6. PRINTCON was limited to 37 print job definitions.

7. The server might ABEND in large Host Print environments due to the way Host
Print was handling thread switching.

8. When Host Print 1.1 was installed, SAACOPY was overwritten with an older
version that doesn't provide the option to backup or restore profiles to/from
DOS or Netware partitions.

SOLUTION

Apply the HPT006 series.
