Hi, all. I write a lot of plain text files, and print them to a dot matrix printer attached to my parallel port. To do so, I use the pr command to add headers, as follows: pr -o 8 filename | lpr The problem is that the system always generates an extra page [form feed, I suppose] after the last page. If print *several* files at the same time, the extra sheet only follows the last page. Is there any way of suppressing this last blank page / formfeed? Thanks. p.s. If it matters, I'm running 4.9-RELEASE.
