Hopefully someone can help on this little issue...

I have successfully configured my 'printcap' file (the relevant section 
of which is included below) to allow printing to a remote postscript 
printer, specifically a HP LaserJet 5SiMX with a JetDirect card 
installed.  There is a 'hosts' entry for the printer's ip address.  
However, after each printjob an additional page is outputted with four 
lines of text giving:

	User:  jon
	Host:  pccfd1.mottmac.com
	Class:  pccfd1.mottmac.com
	Job:  figure.ps

How do I suppress this extra page?

I have an 'sh' entry in the printcap file to stop a banner page preceding 
the printjob but I can find no mention in the man pages describing the 
page I am seeing.

I am currently running 2.2.6-RELEASE.


                     Thank you for your attention,

                                   Jonathan Wall.
