Hi, your set up looks fine (we have the same set up as you here at our office, JetDirect's work fine with the Debian/Linux lpr package). What you need to do to get rid of that banner page is to telnet to the JetDirect box and disable the banner page:
canaima:~# telnet hplj4p Trying 130.151.17.167... Connected to hplj4p.ven.ra.rockwell.com. Escape character is '^]'. Please type [Return] two times, to initialize telnet configuration For HELP type "?" > banner:0 > quit ===JetDirect Parameters Configured=== IP Address : 130.151.17.167 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.128 Default Gateway : 130.151.17.129 Syslog Server : 0.0.0.0 Idle Timeout : 90 Seconds Set Cmnty Name : Not Specified DHCP Config : Disabled Passwd : Disabled Novell : Enabled DLC/LLC : Disabled Ethertalk : Disabled Banner page : Disabled User Quitting Connection closed by foreign host. Of course, you should do "telnet 198.37.24.188". Type "?" when you are logged in to you JetDirect to get help. Hope this helps. E.- Carlo U.
