PostScript Printer Skips Blank Pages When Printing

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you print to a PostScript printer, blank pages may not be printed. If you try to print a 3-page document with one blank page, only the two pages that are not blank may be printed.

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by a problem with the Windows 95 PostScript printer driver.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

• Insert text on a page that you want to be blank, and then format the color of that text to be white.
• Install the Windows 3.x PostScript driver. For information about using Windows 3.x drivers in Windows 95, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

     NOTE: Windows 3.x printer drivers cannot take advantage of some of
     the printing enhancements in Windows 95.
