(9877) Suppressing DCPS Print Banner?

Post by User » Sun Nov 28, 2004 8:26 am

I am trying to suppress the banner page using a lpd print queue. I have the following logical:

Code: Select all

show log TCPIP$TELNETSYM_SUPPRESS_FORMFEEDS
   "TCPIP$TELNETSYM_SUPPRESS_FORMFEEDS" = "34" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
Yet, I keep getting banner pages on some, but not all my printers. These are the Decprint Supervisor banner pages.

Is there another area I need to look at? I have checked the initialize commands for the queues and they are all the same, except of course the name and ip address.

Thank you!

The banner is generally generated by the target system, of course.

Ensure the print symbionts have been restarted, as an initial step, and ensure you have current DECprint Services (DCPS) software loaded and running on the various system(s) involved.

Additional and potentially semi-related information on configuring printers is available in various topics referenced in topic (1020), and -- in this case -- topic (2507).

A second banner can be generated by specific printers, see the information in topic (5061).
