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). I don't
think its passworded and I'm not sure which port if any I need to try to
telnet into to adjust the menu.

I've tried search the questions archive but I still can't get rid of the
banner page.

Any suggestion?

I tried several printcap file options

including trying to address a specific port ( 9100 )

using a line" :lp=9100@rm=192.168.1.200:\  "

Here is my printcap fille as it stands now minus the comment

#	@(#)printcap	5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90

......

Is it true that thereis no way to control the banner page from here?

TIA
