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:

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.
