SYMPTOMS
========

Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) print jobs default to a
setting of 6 lines per inch (LPI), even though the APPC print session is
configured to use a setting of 8 LPI.

NOTE: This behavior does not occur if the APPC print session is configured to use
a Printer Definition Table (PDT).

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because the APPC print provider (Ppd5250.dll) does not
honor the LPI setting configured in SNA Manager for APPC print sessions. The LPI
value is always overwritten with the default value of 6 LPI.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
