Combs" Reply-To: CombsSF@salem.ge.com To: Chuck Kelly Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Printer Header (Banner) Pages In-Reply-To: <3242DC1E.41C67EA6@dnaent.com> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Chuck, 1) you can telnet to the HP printer and disable header generation. Unfortunately, this only works until the next time the printer is reset. 2) you can invoke lpr as 'lpr -h'. This will stop the flag page. Other than that I don't know of any way. ---- Stephen F.
