- You need to get a modified version of the sharable print symboint,
- SMBSRVSHR.EXE from Digital. There is one for VMS 5.4 and one for VMS 5.5.
- This version includes code to suppress the formfeed that is normally
- printed at the end of a print job. You then need to create a reset
- module (NOFORFEED.TXT) that consists of: <ESC>]VMS;2<ESC>\<ESC>P<ESC>E<ESC>\
- (for HP Laserjet printers) and insert it into SYSDEVCTL.TLB. Add
- /LIBRARY=SYSDEVCTL and /SEPARATE=(RESET=(NOFORMFEED)) to your
- INITIALIZE/QUEUE command and you will only get one blank sheet
- whenever the queue is started.
