Making 'nobanner' Default in V.3.2 'lp'

Making 'nobanner' Default in V.3.2 'lp'

Post by Tim Eva » Sun, 30 Jun 1991 01:44:42



I would like to be able to suppress the System V.3.2 lp
banner page by default on all print jobs, without having
to specify this option on the lp command line.

Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thank you.

You can try setting BANNERS=0 in /etc/default/lpd, but this is not
always understood.

I guess these are the views of VTI - since it is my consulting company.

The AT&T Unix System V Release 3.2 System Administrator's reference manual
states that the -o option of lpadmin has a parameter called nobanner which
allows a user to submit a print request that asks that no banner page be
printed.  What I have found is that this actually means that the user has to
specifically ask for a banner page (ie lp -obanner) for one to be printed.

When I'm in a situation where banners are not desired, and just
comment out the banner-generating lines in the interface script.

1. My 'made-by-printtool' lp queue doesn't queue.

But aside from that .. It's just fine :)

I've got no problems with /dev/lp0 and have written a script that
manually  figures out the file type and prints it in the background but
this still isn't queueing. Printtool repeatedly seems to create the
right files in the right place /var/spool/lpd/lp/... and yet when you
print a file, you get no errors, it says it's printing if you do an lpq,
or an lpc status, but if you look in /tmp, there's always a 34.N MB file
for each lpq entry that stays forever.

Anyone seen this sort of behaviour? If I do an lprm to kill the entry ,
it leaves the file. That's how I found them was by running out of disk
space after about 50 lpr non-jobs.

         tia,

                 Mickey

(I've remade it many times, edited printcap manually, deleted
/var/spool/lpd/.... and recreated, and well, help!)
