SUMMARY
=======

Ventura Gold does not print the last page of a print job on a PostScript printer

Hardware From Ports in the Control Panel.

Windows requires the Flow Control (handshaking) be set to the Hardware option
for printers connected to a serial communications port.

output is redirected to a File.

-------------------------------------------------------

1. In the Control Panel window, choose the Ports icon.

2. Select the port used by the printer.

3. Choose the Settings button.

4. Select Hardware for the Flow Control.

5. Choose the OK button, then choose the Close button and exit Control Panel to
