-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've asked about this before, but most people offer a solution dealing with apsfilter, which I am not using. I'm absolutely losing my mind over this. PLEASE HELP. It's that oh-so-common problem of the extra form feed causing an unwanted blank page at the end of every print job. SuSE's Support database mentions this problem, but for 8.0 all it says is "From SuSE Linux 8.0 on, configure the print queue without "formfeed" by making sure there is no "formfeed" set for the queue in /etc/printcap. The output of man 5 printcap displays all the possibilities available for your spooler (lprng, lprold, plp) to prevent a "formfeed" in a queue." This doesn't help me, as I've looked at man 5 printcap and don't get it. http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ke_netprint-trouble.html Here's my info: HP Laserjet 5L configured with yast2 to use ljet4 driver. Everything prints wonderfully, and from the Suse 8.0 "server" that it is attached to, there is NO extra form feed at the end. The blank page shows up ONLY when clients (be they Win or Lin) print (via samba). I accepted all the defaults from Yast2 and it chose lpdfilter for me. I read online about adding sf to suppress form feeds, but when lpd was restarted it said to use ff_separator instead. Neither works. Also, my printer can print at 300dpi or 600dpi and I have it named lp and printer1 respectively to allow me to print at either resolution. I use printer1 almost exclusively, though. Here's my /etc/printcap: lp:\ :cm=lpdfilter drv=upp method=auto color=yes:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ :if=/usr/lib/lpdfilter/bin/if:\ :la@:\ :tr=:cl:sh: printer1:\ :cm=lpdfilter drv=upp method=auto color=yes:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer1:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/printer1/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/printer1/acct:\ :if=/usr/lib/lpdfilter/bin/if:\ :la@:\ :tr=:cl:sh: :ff_separator=false:\ I can't find anything in the lpdfilter files of interest except this: /etc/lpdfilter/HP-escapes This file describes some common escape sequernces for HP DeskJet printers.
