Patch JXC1 addresses the problem with blank page eject problem.

> We had a similar problem at the City of Sparks.  We have an LPQ-800.  One of
> the things that the RC had us
> do was to create a "blank" setup file that NPConfig reads.  Our NPConfig
> file looks like this:
>
> global (setup_file = NOTHING.HPENV.SYS
>         message_interval = 60
>         banner_header = FALSE
>         banner_trailer = FALSE)
>
> #  LP       INFORMATION SERVICES COMPUTER ROOM LPQ-800
> 26      (network_address = 172.20.10.26
>          pjl_supported = false
>          jam_recovery = false)
>
>
> Our printer is set to defaults for PCL-II.
>
> This doesn't seem to affect any other printers.  The only problem I have is
> that the printer
> does a form feed before each printjob starts (lots of blank paper).  I'm
> sure there is a fix
> to this but RC has not been able to help me solve it (and I just let it go

> >These are not using ENV files or TT files, just the standard network

> >landscape).  My suspicion is that Network printer driver is sending PCL
> >sequences to fit 132 columns on an 11" landscape page at 8.5"x11" and
> >the output seems to concur.  It should scale to 14"x11" for this
> >printer, but the defaults are hardcoded in the spooler.
