Hello All:

I have been settin up one of our Debian machines to serve as a
departmental printer server for Macs and Windows95 machines.  The problem
I am having is with an HP LaserJet 4m+ with JetDirect card.  The printer
has its own IP number and it is directly connected to the network.  I have
set up a printcap as follows on my Debian box:

ls178_hp4m|First Floor Department LaserJet:\
         :lp=/dev/null:\
         :rm=198.37.24.188:\
         :rp=text:\
         :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ls178_hp4m:\
         :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
         :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
         :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

The rp=text is required to give the proper CRLF sequence when printing
text files from Linux.  The printer is set up to autoswitch to postscript
and PCL and this works fine.  The problem is that every job I print has a
trailer page with the information about where the print job came from.

Is this a feature of the Linux lpd?  I haven't been able to find anything
in the printer documents aobut this so I need to knowif anyone has heard
of this in Linux.  I looked in the Linux docs but no mention there either.

Help!  I really don't want to waste the extra sheet of paper each job.


Carlo
