Font Size Changes on Subsequent Print Jobs

ID: Q164964


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0


SYMPTOMS

When a printer definition is defined for a font override, the first job sent to the printer uses the font size specified, but all subsequent jobs use a larger size. The problem was discovered when Courier 10 was set in the printer properties and Courier 10 printed on the first job, but Courier 12 printed on all subsequent jobs.

The font overrides are set in the Overrides section of the <Printer_name> Properties page in SNA Server 3.0 Manager.


CAUSE

Printer settings are not maintained between LU1 printing jobs on the same session. In this case, the host sent a control code to set the number of lines per inch to eight, but it was reset to the configured setting (six lines per inch) for subsequent jobs.


RESOLUTION

A fix is available to correct this problem.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
