The documents print properly, even through Samba. My only problem is this. After every print job, I get the "burst page". I've read about what this page is and that it's enabled by default because of sh=false. I've read that all you have to do to not have this page print is put the option sh=true. Now, I honestly can't figure out why in the name of all that is holy, this option is enabled by default, because I see people who WANT this option, would know how to go turn it on, but rather this way people who DON'T want this option have to search through several manpages before they even discover what this page is called, much less how to turn it off. Then we come to my problem. I have learned which option to set, either sh=true, or banner.disable=true, and I have set those options, trying both, several times, in several different orders. Every time I print, whether it's via Samba or directly through lpr, I get the damn burst message. There is no way my company will tolerate that kind of waste of paper. We kick out hundreds of sales orders and invoices daily. I've tried restarting the print daemon, Samba, and even rebooting my server :( No luck at all.
