Hi, all! Somebody know nice way don't to print banner page. I know not nice way - remark this procedure in driver of printer. But i want to know how and where use keys "-nb" and "-yb".
For any case I attached file of driver. Please see and take me recommendations.
Thanx in advance. Oleg

Oleg,

I set an alias:

alias lp="lp -o nb"


You could do it in /etc/profile so it would be system wide.

Trouble with the alias is that any applications that use lp won't have logged in and cron printing could also become an issue

I think changing the interface file is perfectly acceptable. It's much better than creating a wrapper script around "lp" for example.

Oleg,

A different slant on the nb obtion is to use the BSD settings -oBSDh .

It certainly works with remote printers even if they are/are not setup as BSD devices.

I use lp -ddevice -oBSDh

Hope this helps !

Hi Oleg,


start the programm jetadmin. Then configuration(1)-> Modify(5) and choose the printer queue. Then switch off the banner for that printer permanent.
