samba - Sep 1997 - Samba, Win95, and the HP Deskjet 1600CM PS

Anyone know how to suppress the %! and newpage at the beginning of printing
to the HP DeskJet 1600CM PS as a postscript printer?  It prints postscript
fine, but it wastes a page when being printed to from Win95 for the above
extra output.  No such thing happens when printing from UNIX.

Anything I might be forgetting to set to get this to work?

We've had this problem too.  Remember to suppress the header page,
e.g., use "lpr -h".  We have this line in smb.conf:

   print command  = /usr/bin/lpr -h -s -r -P %p %s

You may also want to check the AIX printer setup, in SMIT's "Change /
Show Print Queue Characteristics" you can modify "Change / Show
Default
Print Job Attributes" so that no header or trailer pages are generated
(this was on an AIX 4.2.1 system).
