Hello! I have a Linux box that has a HP LaserJet 5L printer connected to it and Samba (2.0.3) providing a print service for Win95 clients connected to the LAN. How can I make Samba NOT ask for a password whatsoever when a Win95 client connects to the print service? I also have a printing related problem: when I print something from a Win95 client it comes out fine, but I always get an extra blank page. How do I get rid of this annoying "feature"? -=[ Count Zero / TBH - Jussi H?m?l?inen - email count@theblah.org ]=-
Telnet into the printer, hit enter couple times, type forward slash and hit enter. You should get a page like this: Please type [Return] two times, to initialize telnet configuration For HELP type "?"> >===JetDirect Telnet Configuration== Present Config : FRONT PANEL/TELNET MAC Address : 00:60:b0:37:ae:24 IP Address : 192.168.0.41 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway : 192.168.0.1 Syslog Server : 0.0.0.0 Idle Timeout : 120 Seconds Set Cmnty Name : Not Specified Host Name : ACCOUNTING DHCP Config : Disabled Passwd : Disabled Novell : Disabled DLC/LLC : Enabled Ethertalk : Disabled Banner page : Enabled>Type "banner:0", that should disable banner page, then type quit.

If you don't do this, the spooler helpfully appends a formfeed at the end of the print job.
