[STR New]
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 to receive print jobs from a mainframe.
The mainframe sends a LPD job via port 515.
Unfortunatelly the mainframe or cups-lpd adds a form feed after every job,
then printing a blank page, and incresaing printing costs.
I did set up the /etc/xinetd.d/cups file according to the cups-lpd man
page. I've also tried inserting some fixes into "server-args", like: -o
job-sheets=none,none, but it didn't works.
It seems that the "sf" (suppress form feed) option in the "printcap" file
of older LPD/LPRng servers could deal with that issue, althought the
/var/run/cups/printcap is always overwritten by cups.
Any help would be most welcome.
Tks in advance,
Marcelo
