Removing a banner from a printer

[Jonathan Caplette]

Hi guys!

I want to remove the banner that the printer prints when I send it a job. The printer is a LaserJet 4050 N. Do I remove this on the printer or can I force the printer to don't print this when I'm using lp...

Thanks!
Jon

Jet Admin will allow you to turn this option off.

Hi Jonathan,

Normally printer does not print banner on its own. you should disable the banner printing either through command line when you give the print job or you should edit the interface file and comment out the banner part of the interface script.

To disable banner using lp command add "-onb" with the lp command.

To remove banner by editing the interface script, do a vi on the script and look for a variable called banner or nobanner. Just read thru the logic and you should be able to work out the solution.

Hope this helps.

option font size 12
