I have an HP LaserJet 4L attached to lpt0 on the FreeBSD machine, shared via Samba for my local Windows users to use as their printer. I've found that a header page (a single blank page) prints after each print job sent from one of the Windows machines. This didn't happen on my FreeBSD 3.3 machine; I'm using the same smb.conf file. The :sh: directive is set in /etc/printcap; I've not been able to find any helpful docs in the man pages or at samba.org; I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction... Thanks! P.S. I don't know whether a separator page prints after native print jobs; lpr file.txt results in the staircase effect, and the handy script in the printing section of the handbook simply caused the printer to print several blank pages; I haven't had time to troubleshoot... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
