- I'm setting up a DeskJet 500 to run on our VAXStation 3100 (5.4-2) and I am
- having one small problem. The printer and queue are working perfectly
- except for the fact that the DeskJet ejects ONE blank page BEFORE every
- print job. The DeskJet will eject TWO blank pages before the first job
- that is printed after the queue or the printer is reset.
-
- I have checked the SET QUEUE command for queue characteristics and I
- have checked the DeskJet book for an answer, but I haven't been able to
- figure out the problem. I have tried setting the queue to default=nofeed
- and taking out the separate qualifier, but I get the same result.
-
- I set the terminal up as an LQP02 which is directly connected to the serial
- port on the VAXStation, hence no LAT.
-
- I have tried setting the terminal to an LA100 and LN03, which yields
- the same result as well.
-
- Has anyone tried a similar setup, and if so, do you have any ideas? Is
- there a queue qualifier I'm missing, or a symbiont I should be using?
-
- I have included the terminal config and queue config below. I created the
- HP500CTL device control library from scratch using the DeskJet manual and
- have had no problem printing with various forms aside from the extra eject.
- Thanks for any help.
