+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|    1. FREQUENT PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS                       |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1.  05/22/92
|     PROBLEM:
|     Host print problems after applying WXR5050.
|     Some Problems with Host Print and CSD WR05050,
|     characterized by 'system error' print status in 3270
|     Print Control, no printer output, no spooler activity,
|     Type 0044, Subtype 0000B097 errors in the CM error log,
|     may be resolved by assuring that the proper default queue
|     and default printer are selected.
|
|     SOLUTION:
|     In Print Manager select the following in order:
|     "SETUP, APPLICATION DEFAULTS,"
|     at this point a listing of default printers and
|     queues will be displayed.
|     The selected queue and printer is highlighted.
|
| 2.  2/03/93
|     PROBLEM:
|     Other problems have been resolved by the REMAKING of the
|     .INI files.
|
|     SOLUTION:
|     Please reference the OS/2 EE 1.3 USERS GUIDE, VOLUME 1,
|     BASE OPERATING SYSTEM, 01F0289, pages 10-6 and 10-7
|     for instructions on rebuilding the .INI files
|     (using the MAKEINI command).
|
|     A. Copy the OLD OS2.INI file back to "OS2.INI". We
|        will use the OLD OS2.INI and the NEW OS2SYS.INI files.
|
|     B. REBOOT the machine with this configuration.
|
|     C. Rebuild the queues in Print Manager and re-associate
|        the printers and the queues.
|
|           Also reference APAR JR05732.
|
| 3. 1/25/93
|    PROBLEM:
|    Extra pages received after applying CSDs
|    WR05050 and WR05100.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    Some of the device drivers were changed in WR05050.
|    reference apars JR03828 and JR05778. The solution is
|    to have the host program suppress the additional form
|    feeds (x'0C') in the job stream. You can verify this
|    by looking at a DLC trace of the print job. Look for a
|    x'0C' in the print job where you are experiencing the
|    extra pages, if the x'0C' is present, then the host
|    program needs to be changed. A possible temporary
|    circumvention is to restore to an earlier version of
|    the device driver until the host program can be altered.
|     ** Note - this may not work in all cases. **
|
| 4. 09/02/92
|    PROBLEM:
|    Host print job wraps at column 80 on HP Laserjet
|    printer even though PM_Q_RAW is used.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    A possible circumvention is to check CPI setting
|    in 3270 PRINT CONTROL. If it is set to 10, change
|    it to 17 CPI. The emulator uses an algorithm that
|    looks at the print line coming down in the job stream
|    and compares it with the space allocated for it to
|    print in - which is limited by print density (CPI)
|    and page size (job properties). This plus the margins
|    (which are fixed on the HP) determine how many
|    characters per line are printed.
|
| 5.  11/21/92
|     PROBLEMS:
|     HOST PRINT problems after applying OS/2 2.0
|     ServicePak - XR06055
|
|     First page of host print job missing.
|     Blank first page of host print job.
|     Error msg PMVxxxx indicating corrupt metafile.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    In the Printer Object Settings select the Queue
|    Options tab then select Printer-specific format.
|    A raw data file will be created instead of a metafile.
|    Rerference apar PJ06608 for addition information.
|
| 6. 01/25/93
|    PROBLEM:
|    Customer applied the OS/2 ServicePak and now when
|    performing  Shift-Print-Screen, attempting to print to the
|    Print Server,receives a SYSTEM ERROR in 3270 Print Control.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    The problem has been documented in LAN apar IC04859 and
|    can be obtained by requeuing to the LAN support group.
|
|
| 7. 12/03/92
|    PROBLEM:
|    PM_Q_RAW not functioning with VPS (a Host OEM
|    Spooler Application).
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    There are two ways that PM_Q_RAW can be used:
|    1. Place the text string PM_Q_RAW as the first eight
|       characters in the host print job.
|    2. Configure a print queue that will specifically use
|       PM_Q_RAW.
|
| 8. 01/25/93
|    PROBLEM:
|    VPS is sending a Begin Bracket followed by NULLS
|    then the second RU contains the PM_Q_RAW string.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    There are two solutions to this problem:
|     1. Configure a print queue for PM_Q_RAW
|     2. Contact VPS for special fix 60936, note that
|         this is a special fix available only by request.
|
|    For further information about PM_Q_RAW please reference
|    the 3270 Host Print document published by the National
|    Technical Support. It is available on MKTTOOLS as CMHOSTP.
|
| 9. 1/18/93
|    PROBLEM:
|    After applying WXR5100, the 3270 Print Control SETUP,
|    OPTIONS and CONFIGURATION settings are reset to unwanted
|    values. Reference apar JR06760 for additional details.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    Manually change each 3270 Print Control setting to an
|    appropriate value and apply apar JR06760 when available.
|
|10. 4/29/93
|    PROBLEM:
|    TRAP 000D or SYS3175 in ACS3ETQ.DLL while performing
|    3270 HOST PRINT. Reference either ES apar JR06420 or EE
|    sysrout apar JR06759 for additional information.
|
|    NOTE:  ES apar JR06679 was closed DUP of JR06420.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    ES customers should apply JR06420, and EE customers
|    should apply WXR5100 and JR06759.
|
|11. 1/18/93
|    PROBLEM:
|    HOST PRINT HANG CONDITIONS:
|    There have been several HANG conditions reported
|    against 3270 Print Control, and they are as follows:
|
|    A. HANG with 3270 Print Control showing JOB STARTED, yet
|       no jobs are being sent to WS. In some cases the HANG
|       has recovered, and the Host file did complete, but
|       hours later. Sometimes, the SNA TIMER appears to be
|       the culpret.
|
|    B. HANG with 3270 Print Control showing nothing active,
|       yet files are waiting on Host print queue.
|
|    SOLUTION:
|    The above (2) symptoms have been resolved by ES apar
|    JR06420 or EE apar JR06759.
|
|    Notes: 1. ES apar JR06653 was closed DUP of JR06420.
|           2. WXR5100 should be applied with JR06759.
|           3. If your running IBM4033 and the Lexmark
|              SPOOL Utility, please obtain the latest
|              Lexmark driver (Lptx.sys).
|12.  01/22/93
|     Problem:
|     Print Server fails with TYPE 0044 SUBTYPE 0000C003
|     while trying to print host file. The Print Server is
|     running the LEXMARK SPOOL Utility which routes output
|     to remote printers attached to 4033 devices on the LAN.
|     Vtam was generating a SNA RC of 081C for this failure.
|
|
|     SOLUTION:
|     This problem was resolved by installing the latest
|     LEXMARK SPOOL Utility and changing the Network
|     Adapter Print Utiliy Timeout parameter from 60 to 90.
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|    2. GENERAL INFORMATION                                   |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|1. 02/17/92   42XX DEVICE DRIVER
|   42XX device driver information concerning setup and use is
|   included with the device driver diskettes in a 42XX.DAT
|   file. This file is installed when the 42XX driver is
|   installed and it is updated with CSD installations.
|
| 2. 12/17/92  EBCDIC PASSTHRU FOR EXTENDED SERVICES
|    EBCIDIC PASSTHRU is now available for ES 1.0 in JR06717.

+-------------------------------------------------------------+
|    01/25/93
| 1. Hold the print queue.
| 2. Start a Normal CM Trace, (See Info APAR II06459).  Trace
|    the data link control type or Data (IBMTRNET, SDLC, etc.).
|    No Advanced events are needed, unless specifically
|    requested by IBM Level 2.
|    Set the Record Length to 0 and the Trace
|    Storage Size to 16 (x 64k).
| 3. On the CM 3270 emulator session, logon to the
|    host system.  Set up a short print job, and send it
|    to the CM Printer Session.
| 4. When spooling activity ceases, Stop the CM
|    Trace (SEE II06459).
| 5. In the   SPOOL queuename  directory on your workstation
|    you will find 2 files.  The files have an extension of
|    .SHD and .SPL copy these files as pmrnumber.SHD and
|    pmrnumber.SPL (pmrnumber is the IBM Problem Record Number).
| 6. Release the print queue in Print Manager and let the job
|    print.
| 7. Save the paper printout, if any.
| 8. Send the Normal Trace as noted in II06459 along with the
|    CONFIG.SYS (call this file pmrnumber.SYS), pmrnumber.SPL
|    and pmrnumber.SHD. REFER TO INFO APAR II06001 for
|    information on sending files to CM level 2.
