Hi all, I know this issue comes up somewhat frequently but I have tried all posed solutions that I could find and none work in my environment. First the symptom: When any job originates from a Win9x/NT/2000 system that is processed by the Linux box (RH 7) to a HP4000 printer (connected via Intel NetPort Express PRO) an extra sheet is fed through. When the job is handled by the previous NT Print server it goes fine. If the job originates from the Linux server it prints fine. If the job goes to a Textronics color laser from anywhere it prints fine. What I have done: Ensured that the form feed option is not selected within print tool Manually placed the :sf: parameter in the /etc/printcap Changed the driver emulation between different forms of HP LaserJet and Postscript Rem's the lpd_bounce line from printcap Had printcap filter line point to directprint Tried to experiment with custom minimal filters but I think I was out of my depth on that :) I would very much appreciate any kicks in the right direction. Please email me any feedback at piersplowman@hotmail.com as this is a rather pressing issue. Many thanks, Dan
