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.
