The problem I can't seem to figure out is that when : print job is queued on the UNIX machine that will be printed from the : NW3.11 print queue, it always seems to get an additional form feed when : the job is printed, needless to say this wastes a LOT of additional paper. : : On the unix side, rlp seems to just hand the job off the the NW3.11 system, : so I don't see how I can change things on the UNIX side. What I need to know : is if there is some option or flag on the UNIX or NOVELL side I can use that : will supress the additional formfeed. Any help with this would be most : appreicated... THe suppression of formfeeds and banners are strictly controlled from the Unix/LPD client. Therefore you must issues a lpr -J/nff if you want to suppress FormFeeds from an LPD client, check with SCO documentation to be sure of the correct syntax. Also make sure that when you configured PLPDCFG, the print queue you are using doesn't have a MODE defined that would introduce a FormFeed at that point. Best way to go about this is to leave the MODE line blank under PRINT QUEUES FOR USE. : : : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : Internet : howardl@wb3ffv.ampr.org | Howard D.
