  Extra Formfeeds wanted on HP Printer... 
 The Question is:
 
I've got a HP DeskJet 550C attached to a HP JetDirect EX Plus print server,
which is set up with its own IP address.  For some reason, the printer does
not print a form feed at the end of the print job, so the last page has to
be ejected.  Here's the vers
ion information:
  Digital TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V4.1
  on a AlphaServer 1000A 5/400 running OpenVMS V7.1
 
Here's the SYS$SPECIFIC:[UCX_LPD]UCX$PRINTCAP.DAT:
 
# LOCAL PRINTERS
 
UCX$LPD_QUEUE:\
        :lp=UCX$LPD_QUEUE:\
        :sd=UCX$LPD_SPOOL:
 
HPDJ1_QUEUE|hpdj1_queue|HPDJ1_QUEUE:\
        :lf=/SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/HPDJ1_QUEUE.LOG:\
        :lp=HPDJ1_QUEUE:\
        :rm=hpdj1.mycompany.com:\
        :rp=text:\
        :sd=/SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/HPDJ1_QUEUE:\
        :fo=1:
 
 
Finally, here's the queue definition:
Server queue HPDJ1_QUEUE, idle, on MYCO::"hpdj1.mycompany.com",
mounted form DEFAULT
  /AUTOSTART_ON=(MYCO::"hpdj1.ckfinc.com") /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,
  FORM=DEFAULT) /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=UCX$LPD_SMB
  /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /SEPARATE=(RESET=(RESET))
 
Any ideas?  It works if I set the JetDirect to print a trailing banner page,
which forces the form feed.  However, that would be a big waste of paper
here, where we print a lot of one page jobs.
 
Thanks.
 
 The Answer is:
 
  First, acquire and install a more recent version of TCP/IP Services,
  move to V4.2 with the current ECO or (better) V5.0.
 
  Then look at previous discussions of the device control library,
  specifically looking at what would be required to create such a
  library (SYSDEVCTL.TLB) if necessary, and what printer command
  sequence would be needed to be generated at the end of the job
  or as part of the printer reset module -- the current print queue
  definition does declare the use of a reset module, what is in it?
