Banner in Distributed Print Service

[ASSIST]

How I can supress the printing of the banner in physical printer definied in the Distributed Print Service?

[RAC_1]

Check lp -o options you can supress from lp command line.

And also from printer config file residing in
/etc/lp/interfaces/your_printer_name.

This may or may not help but worth a try if you are using JetDirect cards.

Telnet to the ip address of the printer and at the prompt type banner:0
Then save your setting with quit(i think)..


Hope this helps.

I probed this and anything was well

The lp -o banner=no not supress the banner

and in this kind of printers there are not interfaces..... this is only in the local spooler

[ASSIST]

The problem is that the print server isn't a JetDirect and I can't supress it

Thanks

[RAC_1]

the lp -t "title" options prints the title/banner

try lp -t "" and let us know.

Hi


In /usr/spool/lp/inetrface/printer name

file search for BANNER and change YES to NO and then stop and restart the spooler .

The -t option don't supress the banner page, simply prints a title in it....

[D. Jackson_1]

I think from command line you want this:

lp -dprinter -onobanner

Thank you very much Chan

I probe this and I say you... but I think that is correct

Hello,

If you are using the Distributed Print Service, you will be using the 'pdpr' command to print. According to the man page for the job attributes for 'pdpr' (man pd_att_job), you should be able to set the job-sheets attribute to none to eliminate the banners from pdpr.

I think it will look something like this:

pdpr -p LogicalPrinter -x "job-sheets=none" filetoprint

By the way, the last time I called HP with a DPS problem, they said there are only two or three customers in the entire world still using that software. Good thing we hooked up here! I had a real problem with it on a production box once, and HP had to look all the way around the world to find an expert in-house to help us. I'll be glad to move off of it when I can. Probably explains why the DPS software is deprecated in the latest releases of HP-UX.
