Easiest way - 1) use JetAdmin (or whatever they're calling it now) to assign an IP address to the jet direct interface. 2) telnet to that IP address, and follow the help screens to turn off the banner. 3) add a line in /etc/hosts for the printer 4) add the following lines to /etc/printcap lp|hp4sales1|Sales HP4 Plus 1:\ :lp=/dev/null:rm=hp4sales1.bfd.com:rp=text:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4sales1:mx#0: where the rm= field is set to your printer's hostname (from step 3).
