Previous Document: 4.13. Why aren't the lpadmin, accept, and reject commands working right?
Next Document: 4.15. Why can't I send bitmapped images to the printer correctly?


4.14. Why are all the jobs on the printer always followed by a formfeed?



	The line printer driver follows each close(2) of /dev/lp with
a formfeed.  There is no way to disable this, except by avoiding the
driver altogether and going straight to the raw printer device.

		# su lp
		$ /usr/lib/lpadmin -plp1 -mdumb -v/dev/rawlp
