Try adding the 'sf' option to the printer definition in /etc/printcap. The 'sf' stands for 'suppress form feeds'. If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you a copy of my printer definition, since I had the same problem and was able to fix it with one of the options. -- Derek Pizzagoni I.T.

If the printcap change doesn't work you can also try adding print command = lpr -r -h -P%p %s to the [global] section in your smb.conf ;-) -- Thomas Derek Pizzagoni wrote:> > Try adding the 'sf' option to the printer definition in /etc/printcap. > The 'sf' stands for 'suppress form feeds'. > > If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you a copy of my printer > definition, since I had the same problem and was able to fix it with one > of the options. > > -- > Derek Pizzagoni > I.T.

Hi Michel,
Here are the printcap entries for the printers I print to through Linux/Samba
(from Windows 98). The first is locally attached. The second is sitting on
a little print-server box, but the Linux box maintains the queue:
hp-color-raw:\
:rw:\
:sh:\
:sf:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp-color-raw:\
:fx=flp:
hp-lj-raw:\
:rw:\
:sh:\
:sf:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp-lj-raw:\
:fs=flp:\
:rm=netprint:\
:rp=PORT1:
They are both set up as raw printers, since I have the printer drivers
installed on the Win98 box, and don't need to send the print jobs through
another filter on the Linux box.

I use a network printer Brother HL1270N (very neat) as a postscript printer. my printcap file is as follows : # # BROTHER HL1270N # lp|brother|laser:\ :sh:\ :sf:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :rm=BRN_313DFF:\ :rp=POSTSCRIPT_P1: # other available services : # :rp=BINARY_P1: # :rp=BRN_313DFF_P1: # :rp=TEXT_P1: # :rp=PCL_P1: I tried to use the other services, and the result is the same. hem hem ... cleaned my glasses ... nothing does...

Sometimes this is a problem with the JetDirect card. (If your using one.)
Try telnetting to the JetDirect card and use the "/" to find the
status of
the banner. If it is enabled, type "banner: 0" to disable.

Thanks to all ... but I still get this extra form feed after each printing when printing from win clients. This with a Brother HL-1270N. I tried with a HP 5L : same effect. After so many unsuccessful tries, I give up for now ... maybe later? Thanks anyway Michel
