Your printcap entry specifies an remote machine (rm=) for the printer. If that remote machine *is* the printer, then you need to turn off the option in the printer itself. If the printer has a menu system on it, you should be able to find the option somewhere in those menus. The option might be called 'banner page' or 'separator page'. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
