Re: Printing problem

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is PBACKUP01 the name of a printer device or a job on the AS/400? 
Check the device for separator page setup. Is it printed through a 
remote outq? Check the outq, too. Then see if the JetDirect is set to 
print separator pages.

Just a wild guess.
