At the top of some reports, this message is printing. Does anybody know why and how?

[John Poff]

Hi,

Maybe your report code is doing something like this:?

echo $SHELL

To the same printer or to any? It could be a printer interface issue.

Hi Jeff:

To what reports do you refer?

...JRF...

[MANOJ SRIVASTAVA]

I think this the o/p line from the interface file of the printer defined /etc/lp/ineterface/printername (which also gets printed if u are not using the correct file like if ua re using raw or dumb model )while defining the printer.


Try using with /ithout banner options .

The reports are out of our companies software system. It's not happening on the print of the report. What I found out is that the report is generated to a file first and then printed. It is also not happening to all of the reports/files.

[Bill Hassell]

No simple answer to this one as the reason is wrapped up in the software used to produce the reports. The software includes the generation as well as the printing technique. Start by looking at the actual file produced by the software. Is it OK? If not, back to the developers of the code to fix it.

If the file is OK but the printing is not correct, you'll need to define exactly how the file is being printed. Is it a script or series of scripts? You'll need to trace them to find the error. It definitely looks like a scripting error.
