Modifying printing output

[Yaboto]

Please help me modify the printing output on paper.
The users are complaining that they are wasting too many papers for each printing job.
Anytime they print, they will see some unix overhead on the first page. The overhead includes username; banner; etc ...
How will I get rid of that ?

Regards,
Mawuena

Add the "-o nb" option to your lp command.

The users print directly from their application and not from the unix prompt.
How will I make the option mentioned above permanent then ?

for network printer:

1) run hppi-> Spooler Admin -> Modify Existing Queue -> (select printer) -> Additional Options -> switch banner to "off"

-or-

2) edit /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig/, find the BANNER= statement and make it BANNER="".

Well if you can't disable using the -o nb option. If they are HP printers, can't you just telnet into them and go the printers menu (type menu) then IPX/SPX Settings and disable PJL Banner Pages ??

Or, if your proficient with the printer configuration menu buttons, at the printer yourself, you might be able to turn it off from there.

But bear in mind that disables a banner (seperator page) for everything.

Just a thought,
