Settings for External JetDirect.

We hv line printer attached to External HP Jetdirect 300X. My problem is intermitently the paper eject 1 blank page. Everyday we print a same report and it not happened everyday. Normally it happened once a week but sometimes twice a week. I check all the settings under Jetadmin but could not find any problems. Anybody can help to set the HP JetDirect 300X which connect to HP9000 Server..?

Re: Settings for External JetDirect.

hi,
if you want to setup a network distributed print service you can use HP distributed print
services (or) HP openspool print services.
i think HP openspool is obsolete now. So you
may go for HP Distributed print services.

Re: Settings for External JetDirect.

hi,
you say you are using lp for printing. coming back to paper skipping problem. please try this
cd /etc/lp/interface
the file for your printer will be here. edit the file and try disabling the banner page print using "-h".

note: before starting take a copy of that file.

Re: Settings for External JetDirect.

This is not a jet directo problem, nor a printer problem, but a report problem.

I am sure as with most reports contents and size vary from day to day. It only takes one extra line which can be blank to eject the extra sheet of paper.

A printer can print blank lines too..
