My knowledge of Unix is not as good as it should be so I may well be missing something that the Unix world takes for granted. Here it is... I have a FreeBSD 2.1 box running Samba to provide connections to my Win96 system. I have an HP laser printer connected to /dev/lp0 on the BSD system which is shared through Samba and to which I can print from Win95. So far so good. Works just fine thank you. The silly problem is that all my Windows print jobs seem to have an extra form feed tacked on and eject and eject an extra page when the job completes. I end up with blank pages between all my print jobs. Is there a simple way to solve this? Please reply via e-mail to ddunlop@redpoint.com as I don't get into the newsgroup very often. Many thanks, Don
