Printing an extra (banner?) page - want to get rid of it.
|
|
|
| Hi,
Using SCO OS 5.0.5
I recently did all printing serially by using an old machine as a print
server and setting up lpd to print jobs to the two prnters connected to
thw old server (using a computone Intelliport II board). My app is on
a \notehr server hence teh need for remote printing.
Well, the old server's HD crashed today. As one of my printers had an
HP DirectJet card installed, I confogured it to the same IP address as
the old server anc connected one end of the cable to the printer
Network port and the other end to my hub.
Well, it works great except that after each print job, I get an extra
page with 4 lines of username, user job, etc... It looks like a banner
page but it is coming out AFTER each print job.
I haven't a clue on how to get rid of this extra page. Can anyone
point me in the right direction? I've looked at the printer management
section in "scoadmin" but could not find anything.
Thanks,
Don

Likely to be the JetDirect. Telnet to it and enter
banner:0
then save settings. Depending on the model, you may have to power off
the JetDirect to get it to use the new settings.

| Thanks,
I will try it out. I though I could force the issue through the line in my
/etc/printcap file:
hprprinter:\
:lp=:rm=rmachine:rp=hprpprinter:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/hprpprinter:mx#0
but I will try your idea first.
