2. Printing

2-1 This section explains how to print using [lp] command. For more details, refer to Solaris manual.

# lp -d pboxlp <Name of print file>

This causes the banner page to be automatically printed.

To disable the banner printing feature, add the following option, “-o nobanner”.

#lp -d pboxlp -o nobannert <Name of print file> Alternatively, type,

#lpadmin -p pboxlp -o nobanner

directly edit the filter file generated under /etc/lp/interfaces. Either of these options disables banner print function.

Example: Using an editor e.g. vi, open the file shown below. Change “nobanner=no” to “nobanner=yes”.

#vi /etc/lp/interfaces/pboxlp nobanner=no ---> nobanner=yes
