I know this sounds simple, and it may be - but I have tried the obvious
way, with no effect.
2.2.7-current, cvsup last night, make world last week.
My /etc/printcap looks like this:
lp|printer:\
:sh:rm=printer.noc.cup.ndp.net:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
Whenever I send a job to it, I always get a banner page (even with the
:sh: option in there!)
The only way I can remove the banner is to manually execute lpr -h. This
is impractical when using samba to export the printer, or using anything
that calls lp or lpr directly (and doesn't pass the option). I would
*love* to find out why the printcap isn't forcing the behavior it it
supposed to force.
I've thought to edit /usr/bin/lp, and manually insert the -h... but I hate
that kind of solution, and I'd like to do it right instead.
Is there another place I should be looking?
-Andy
