WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to print a blank page using the PostScript printer driver (Pscript.drv), the blank page may not be printed. For example, 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 =

The version of the PostScript driver (version 4.00) included with Windows 95 does not print blank pages.

= 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: ARTICLE-ID: Q132946 TITLE : How to Install Windows 3.1 Drivers in Windows 95 NOTE: Windows 3.x printer drivers cannot take advantage of some of the printing enhancements in Windows 95. 

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
