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:
