SYMPTOMS
========

When you print a print job from an AS/400 through SNA Server, you may have blank
pages after the job ends. This problem only occurs when double-byte character
set (DBCS) print jobs are printed from the AS/400.

CAUSE
=====

This problem is not a form-feed problem, but rather the result of a "spurious
job" from the AS/400. The AS/400 is sending a "clear buffer" message after SNA
Server has already ended the job. This problem was corrected for S/36 print
jobs; the same fix applies to AS/400 print jobs.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server 4.0. For
additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

  Q215838 How to Obtain the Latest SNA Server Version 4.0 Service Pack



STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server, versions
4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2, 4.0 SP3.

This problem was first corrected in SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 4.
