Suppressing Form Feeds

[Roman, James (J.D.)]

Sometimes this is a problem with the JetDirect card.  (If your using one.)
Try telnetting to the JetDirect card and use the "/" to find the status of
the banner.  If it is enabled, type "banner: 0" to disable.

Hi Michel, 

Here are the printcap entries for the printers I print to through
Linux/Samba (from Windows 98).  The first is locally attached.  The second
is sitting on a little print-server box, but the Linux box maintains the
queue: 


hp-color-raw:\ 
    :rw:\ 
    :sh:\ 
    :sf:\ 
    :lp=/dev/lp0:\ 
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp-color-raw:\ 
    :fx=flp: 


hp-lj-raw:\ 
    :rw:\ 
    :sh:\ 
    :sf:\ 
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp-lj-raw:\ 
    :fs=flp:\ 
    :rm=netprint:\ 
    :rp=PORT1: 


They are both set up as raw printers, since I have the printer drivers
installed on the Win98 box, and don't need to send the print jobs through
another filter on the Linux box.

Derek, 

Thanks for your hint but it still does not work. 
As you propose, I'd be happy to get your printcapp's copy 


Thanks 
Michel
