Use the nobanner option for lp. When you print do
lp -d printer nobanner file.

If you have automatic print calls you can set the banner in your print config file (/etc/printers.conf) to null like this
BANNER=""

the BANNER variable setting can also be set in /etd/default/lpd on some operating systems.

All of this really depends on what flavor of Unix you are on.

do a man on lp, lpd and printers.conf for more info relative to your OS.

Good luck.

Hi, your question need more detail, but you could try this:

lpadmin -p printername -o nobanner
or
do a man lpadmin to see all others options...

What kind of printer... if it's a HP, you should
install HP Jetdirect printer installer

Hope this help
