- If you are using lpr/lpd, turn off the banner page in /etc/printcap.
- Check the manpage for printcap, lpd, etc for more info.
-
- If you are using lp, modify the script in the model directory to
- supress the banner. There could also be an option for it already.
-
- Or your could move the printer to the Unix box :-)
