I have just been running a project to convert an enterprise from Token Ring to Ethernet. In the token ring network users printed to printers shared from local PCs using a product called ‘NIPRINT’. This had an option set which converted from ‘Unix DOS’ to ‘Ascii’. These users are using Dynix.
Now I have networked the printers using external jet direct boxes and have set up new queues on the Dynix box using the IP addresses. However, now whenever users try to print system reports the pages come out with just a header on the first page and the rest of the pages are blank. Printouts from the application running on the Dynix machine work ok!
Is there a setting in the queue setup to fix this? Is it a translation problem or a line-feed or similar problem?
