Whenever I send a print job from a W95 client to a raw printer on my Linux box, I get a blank page automatically. When I print directly from Linux this does not occur. I have seen more subscribers mentioning this problem, but never did I see a solution for this. Can somebody help me out?

Can somebody help me out?Behaviour like this can be caused by the HP postscript drivers default behaviour of sending a ^D before each job. If there are only a few clients the easy way out is to turn it off. Choose Start > Settings > Printers Right click on the printer and choose properties. Click the postscript tab then "Advanced" Untick "Send CTRL-D before job" Leave "Send CTRL-D after job" unticked. I don't know the PCL driver behaviour but if the printer is using PCL drivers try looking for something similar. If you have too many clients to assume that all will be well configured you will have to filter the ^Ds out, see a posting of mine from 30/6/99 Subject: "Filtering ^D and PCL headers in samba print jobs under Solaris" michaelj Michael James _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ v +61 2 6279 8318 Network Programmer _/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ Coombs Computing _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ f +61 2 6257 1893 Australian _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ National _/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ michael.james University _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ @anu.edu.au
