HP Blank Pages on third-party IP stacks?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I have a similar problem to the "HP Blank Extra Pages" scenero that I found
on your site. I am running Multinet to communicate to 60 HP printers.
We recently upgraded to version 4.1 of the Multinet s/w (Y2K compliant) and
now get blank extra pages between every reporting page. This occurs because
the software (Oracle SQL*Reportwritter) that produces the report adds a form
feed character to the end of every page, reguardless if sixty lines print on
the page or not. The printer or symbiont automatically forces a feed feed at
end of page. Thus causing the extra blank page. Will the procedure described
in the above artical resolve my problem or is something else required.
Process S/W (Multinet) seem un able to resolve the problem.
 

The Answer is :

 
  Questions on other IP stacks should be routed to the vendor supporting
  the particular package.
 
  The approach mentioned in the response is specific to TCP/IP Services
  for OpenVMS (UCX), and to any package that closely mimics the behaviour
  of UCX.
 
  Assuming that a test with your existing software does not satisfy your
  needs, then the Wizard would suggest loading and trying UCX and seeing
  if that solves your requirements -- many recent OpenVMS systems are sold
  with a software licensing package that includes a UCX or NAS license,
  permitting the use of UCX.
