HP Laserjet 6L always ends print job with a blank page!

Post by <jmo.. » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



I've used ghostscript (v3.33) to print to my HP LaserJet 6L - and it works
great, except that every print job has a blank page at the end.  I've tried
everything i can think of and nothing seems to work.  Here's my
/etc/printcap:

hp|laser|hplaser:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:\
    :sh=false:\
    :sf=false:\
    :mx#0:\
    :lp=/dev/lp0:

Anyone have any ideas as to why i'm getting the blank page?

I think you are interpreting the sh and sf parameters
backwards.
The default for each is FALSE.  Setting them to TRUE should
do the trick.  Actually, in my /etc/printcap it is just set,
like so:
:sh:\
I don't think you need sf.

1. Extra Blank Page at end of Print Jobs

Hello,

A small mystery...

We're running Unixware 7.0 and VisionFS 3.0  When a print job is sent
to the printer, a blank page is included at the end of each print job.
Does anyone know if this is a "feature" to seperate print jobs and if
so, can I shut it off?  If it's not a feature, the question is still
the same! :-)
