Xerox printer banners on Solaris

Locked

Can anyone give the magic incantation to switch off the print banner page generated by the Xerox printing software on Solaris 2.6

xpadmin (ver 3.01.23) shows “banner page disabled”

lpstat -lp shows “banner not required” for both the print and transport devices

lp -oNoBanner makes no difference

I’d like to save some trees …

1. become root
2. cd to /usr/lib/lp/model
3. make a copy of the file ‘standard’: call it ‘nobanner’
4. edit the nobanner file: find the line ‘nobanner=”no”, and change it to
‘nobanner=”yes”‘
5. assign the new interface file to your printer:

lpadmin -p your-printer-name -i /usr/lib/lp/model/nobanner

If you use NeWSprint:

Edit /etc/lp/printers//param and make sure the BANNERPS line looks like this:

BANNERPS=; export BANNERPS

The Xerox stuff uses its own setup. Its interface file twiddles a few options and then invokes another program. No obvious parameter files there.

Solution seems to be replace N2125 with Phaser 4400 – no software changes, no banner.
