I have an IBM AT running XENIX. When I output to the printer,
I get a nice banner telling who printed the file. Unfortunatly,
the AT thinks that this banner is so nice that it outputs it twice. Followed
by an extraneous blank page.
what I want is :: name_banner
files
what I get is :: name_banner
name_banner
<-- second form-feed that causes the blank page
files
since the spool area gets only the files, I get the feeling that the
banners are put on by the device and therefore non-removable by me.
That is, I should learn to live with them.
question:: do other people have this problem?
has anyone solved it?
is it even solvable?
