Hi,
When I sent this mail yesterdays, I got complaint from a few guys that
wanted me to send this particular mail again in text mode...so here it
is.

Hi,
I have install Samba 2.0 in my Sun Ultra 5 runnig Solaris 2.6, and I
hope somebody can help me with  my problem. The problem is ..it seems
that I can't make the Samba server (print server) stops  printing
banner.

I have modified the smb.conf  into :
       print command=/bin/lp -d%p -c -o raw %s -o nobanner; /bin/rm -f
%s
but still the server keeps printing banner. I also have modified the
printer configuration into not printing banner in the admintool and it
also do no good either.

Along with this mail is attachments of my :
                                1) smb.conf
                                2) printers.conf ( printcap files)

Finally, thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
