Hi Janet,
It's a pity about the time difference between NZ and UK or
we could quickly compare notes and settings by telephone.
We've got various Indexes, and a Braille Blazer running off
a Windows 2003 Server, all fed by XP systems, plus two Thiel
Bax-10s.
When you say, "Print Server", do you mean a print server box
such as an HP JetDirect, or is it a dedicated PC with the
embossers connected direct to printer ports within the PC
itself? And are you using XP Home or Professional, and on
what systems?
My initial suspicion is that it may have something to do
with either paper size, or Separator page. It's just
possible that it is actually feeding 66 lines, as opposed to
two and a half pages, especially if they have selected an 11
inch continuous form size somewhere.
Another test you could try, is to "Connect" to the embosser
from the workstation, as opposed to actually configuring it
as a shared static device. Your admins should know how to
do this, but it essentially means browsing for the device
from a workstation, then right clicking on it, and selecting
"Connect". This should then route through the Server's
drivers as opposed to local drivers.
George.

Subject: [duxuser] extra form feeds
Has anyone come across this one before? We have just
upgraded the PC that is used as a printserver in our
embosser room. Now, when a Duxbury job is sent from any PC
on the network to any of the embossers, we get two and a
half form feeds at the end of the job. The printserver PC is
XP and the driver is set up as Generic/Text only as before.
It's interesting that if you send the job from DBT on the
printserver PC itself, you don't get the extra form feeds if
you point Duxbury at LPT1, but you do if you point it at the
network address of the embosser. The network uses the
standard TCPIP protocol and our network support folk can't
think of anything in there to cause this effect. We could
live with one or two form feeds but it's the half that is
the killer!
Janet
