- i got a wierd problem with by dj500 doing this. it appeared that
- my config.sys was about 1 or 2 lines of "pixels" too long to
- fit on one page so it printed the second page with this vague
- dotted line at the top and then proceded to empty the paper in
- tray printing blank pages .... this *wasn't* the "usual" one
- extra page bug ... it appeared to be in a infinite formfeed
- loop!
-
- anyone else seen this, know a fix.
-
- things seem happier with other files or with other methods of
- printing.
-
- btw ... why doesn't the printer know about breaking pages on
- line breaks rather than at the relevant pixel line
- -- its current mode is a bit irritating as you get a line
- split between two pages.
