This article was previously published under Q133478 SYMPTOMS
When printing to a network printer a blank page may be printed at the
end of the print job. This can occur if the server has Default Datatype
set to RAW[FF auto] in the printer details on the server.
CAUSE
The print processor incorrectly parses the data stream from some printers
and adds an extra form feed to the job when one already exists.
RESOLUTION
Create two printers, one set to RAW[FF Auto] for printing from
applications that do not put a FF at the end of the job, usually MS-DOS
applications.
Create the second printer with the Datatype set to RAW for printing from
applications that do put a FF at the end of the print job.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1 and
3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
