Remote Printer

[Carlos Vanegas]

Hi, I added some priters in my server (11i) like reomte printers:

lpadmin -pname -v/dev/null -rmoodel -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -ormname -orplp

I have some LaserJet4 and LaserJet5, when I sent to print, some printers send a banner and others didn't. I don't need the banner, how I fix it??
Thanks.

Two things to disable the banner on a remote printer. First find out the interface file of the printer from /var/spool/lp/interface/Printer_name, then edit it:

1) Search for "banner" and change "banner page = "Y" to " banner page = ""

2) Search for "BSDh" and change "BSDh="" to "BSDh="-h"

Hi,

Follow the Shiju recommendation to fix permanently, or use -onb as a lp command option, i.e:
lp -d -onb

Rgds.

"-onb" the option (N)o (B)anner.

But maybe there is a banner on the printer software IN the printer?

You could also telnet into the laserjet.
If your laserjet is at ip address 1.2.3.4.
telnet 1.2.3.4.
You should see a little menu.
On of the options on the menu is turn off the banner.

On MY laserjet, that's the case.
/ <--to show the settings
:banner 0 <--turn off banner
/ <--see the banner setting changed.
quit <-- to SAVE and exit
or "exit" if you screwed it up.
