Ah, yep, we've already been annoyed by this, but mind you, i would never have gotten the idea that turning the banner page on would have saved us! It's interesting that they're finally going to fix it. Perhaps i'll try your hack in the meantime. (If they fix this, this will make the JetDirect the first print server i know that works flawlessly. Everything else falls flat on the face under some slightly exceptional cirsumstances [multiple quick copies, cancelling job, crashing client etc.].) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
