This is so weird... I just had the same thing happen to me in the last month as
well! Program hasn't changed in years and the only thing changed is the
physical printer. In my case it is an HP P2015DN. The odd thing is that the
user claims it does NOT happen all the time. A variety of spool files from the
iSeries go out this printer but he claims the extra "garbage page" only comes
out on a certain report, and even then, apparently not all the time.
In my case, the outq is a RMTOUTQ and we have lots of other printers getting
the same spool file without this problem. I'm not sure if they print PC jobs
(like email/Word docs) but it wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure they were doing
it before they changed out printers though as well. We are on a 820 with V5R3
and nothing major has changed on the iSeries side of things either.
I would LOVE to hear if anyone has a solution or ideas on this one.

Subject: Printer Printing Extra Page
A user reported a problem today that I have never seen before.
On an 820 at V5R2, user is now getting an extra page on a printer described in
its text as an HP 5SI.
Extra page has only the phase
'PHWLSLSQ ldfA289systemname.company.com'.
HWLSLSQ without the 'P' is the outq name. HWLSLSQ is also a user profile.
The report is sent via SNDNETSPLF to this user ID. Job separators are not on.
The particular User ID, Outq description, Directory Entry, printer file, and
program have not changed in years.
What has changed is that the printer is now receiving MS documents interspersed
with the AS/400 reports via another process.
This same report is distributed to various other printers in the same using the
SNDNETSPLF. No issues reported for those printers.
Any ideas where I should look?
Thank you,
