I've managed to setup an AIX Printer Queue for our HP4000N (AIX
4.3.2). Works fine. The problem is that if we just want to print a
plain ASCII file to this network printer, the first line in every page
is the date, time, file, page number line, e.g.:

Mon Feb 24 11:30:34 EST 2003 /var/spool/qdaemon/tBg6Vic Page 1

Basically we need to suppress output of this line. I do not see any
specific options under the smit printer queue setup commands which
would let us do this.

Anyone out there solve this or have any idea?

regards,

What is the command you are using to print? It would seem to me that
something is happening outside the print queueing system, since I
don't recognize that line.... But, we can figure this out fairly
easily. This is what I need to see to help you out:

command used to print the file
stanzas from /etc/qconfig for this printer (there are two sets, one
for the queue, and one for the queue device, and they're right next to
each other).

I may need the colon file, but we'll see based on the above.
