The first entry you see should do it unless it is being overridden on the command line or unless you see it set on someother line.

grep banner= /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/Printer1

banner="no" <<<---This one
banner="";;

does this require pls restart?
thanks

Just to add my 2 cents. depending on how you set the printer up, you may need to disable the banner on the printer itself.

There are two sources of a banner page but they are easy to identify. The network card in the printer (HP JetDirect network cards) will write a separator or trailing banner page. It has just a few lines of ASCII test in the middle of a blank page. Turn this off in the card itself, either with the network card's web page or telnet to the card.

The second is a true banner page prior to each job. Turn this off in the interface script found in the model.orig directory.

You can edit this script at any time -- no stop/start needed for the spooler.
