OT: Looking for Linux experts

Hello elecrafters,
sorry for off topic bandwidth:

Have a problem when printing via Windows-Client -> Samba/Linux ->
Printserver.

After printing, an additional page with the owner of the printjob and
some other details on it is printed out.

How can i switch this off?

Suse Linux 8.0 (the culprit)
Printserver SMC ABR 7004 (not of any importance, but...)

/etc/printcap :

remote:\
:cm=lpdfilter method=raw color=yes:\
:lp=lpt1@192.168.13.131:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/remote/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/remote/acct:\
:ar:force_localhost@:\
:tr=:cl:sh:sf:

--
Best regards,
Martin

Re: OT: Looking for Linux experts

My *guess* is to change the printcap entry so that sh=true. I haven;t
"played" with this kind of thing in a long time, but here's a relevant piece
of man page (from FreeBSD) showing the default value.

sh bool false suppress printing of burst
page header

remote:\
:cm=lpdfilter method=raw color=yes:\
:lp=lpt1@192.168.13.131:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/remote/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/remote/acct:\
:ar:force_localhost@:\
:tr=:cl:sh=true:sf:

Hi Martin,

I don't use samba much so I'm not positive what the problem is, but do a
"man lpoptions" if you're using CUPS to manage your print services. It
sounds like you might want to do something like "lpoptions -o
job-sheets=none" to turn off banner page printing. If you're not using
CUPS, just delete this email. :-)

Martin:
I don't want to take up much bandwidth on the Linux printing problem,
but the problem is not likely SAMBA. Go to your printer setup, select
your printer, and click on edit. If it is similar to Fedora, you have a
Queue options tab that will turn off banner pages at the start or end of
the print job. Any more questions, contact me directly.

I think that the ':sh:' entry takes care of this??? Maybe he
should post the relevant parts of the smb.conf file. Using
CUPS, lprng, apsfilter, etc??? This stuff can get pretty
complicated. Printing under Linux used to be pretty easy.
