printer problem on D - Class

Trent Bukowsky — Fri, 07 Sep 2001 05:40:35 GMT

Hi,

We just installed a local printer directly from the parallel port on our D-class server. We are currently running MFG-Pro on a progress database.

If I give a print directly from unix I get a proper txt output. But if I give the print out of MFG-Pro I first get the a banner output of the User name and finger details, and then the output.

The printer is configured in the spooler as "epson" using the dumb script. and within MFG-Pro the output command is lp-d epson -s.

I just need to know how I can supress the Banner and finger output before the actual data is printed.

Thankx

Trent

When you printed from HP-UX did you use the command "lp -depson -s " or did you include a -o nobanner option.
Their should be no difference in output printing from the UNIX command line to printing from an application, so it may be the MFG application which is including the banner.

Hi
U need to put # before banner in the printer model script. I think it is /etc/lp/interface/

best of luck
