Thanks to all who offered suggestions to help me with my problem . after reading the suggestions I was able to get the banner page to suppress using telnet. the problem that I was having was NT telnet wasn't returning a prompt to let me know I had successfully connected. when I used the telnet in freebsd or hit enter a couple times in the NT telnet i got a prompt and i was able to change the banner page setting with no further trouble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never trust a Fat accountant or a skinny Santa Claus. -BD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 20 Mar 2001, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > If you go to http://www.daemonnews.org and read the article on > my book The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide, you will > find a link to Chapter 8 on their website which is all > about printing and tells you about this. > > Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com > Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide > Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of John Daniel > >Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 6:36 PM > >To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >Subject: Suppressing the banner page on a HPLJ 4 printer? > > > > > > > >I am trying to get rid of the banner aka burst page when printing through > >a jet direct card in a Hp laserjet 4 .MY box is fbsd 2.2.8 > > > >I've tried going through the front panel menu's but I can't find the > >option to set banner=0. > > > >I tried telneting into the printer at it's ip address 192.168.1.200 but > >the is no response( no telnet prompt no password prompt nothing).
