Bannerpage on printers

Hi
I have to configure bannerpage set to on, on some printers. I know I can modify the model script in/etc/lp/interface/model.orig/"printer"
"printer" to paper="ISOA4", but I cant't figure out where ?

Kind Regards

Re: Bannerpage on printers

I think you should just be able to change the line

paper="def"

to change the default paper type.

To enable banner pages, the printer file in /etc/lp/interface needs to contain the line

banner="yes";

(this may be currently set to

banner="";
