XCLN: Printing Blank Page with Exchange Client for Windows 3.xLast reviewed: April 9, 1997Article ID: Q151251 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you print from a Microsoft Exchange client for Windows 3.x to an HP III series printer or an HP DeskJet 820Cse, an extra sheet will be ejected. Nothing will be printed on this sheet.
CAUSEThis is due to the way that the printer driver deals with low memory situations. Microsoft Exchange attempts to do printing on Win16 using banding. This is not always the case and these printers exhibit this. When we try to print to these printers, the first band it gives is a text-only band covering the entire page. Each band after this will be a graphics only band covering part of the page. Because we only ask for graphics bands, we ignore the text-only band and just use the graphics bands. Since the HP driver will ignore text primitives in a graphics only band, you only see the graphics primitives when you print.
WORKAROUNDThere are several possible workarounds to this issue.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 4.0, of Microsoft Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
