One more time....

Use SendPS (at sumex.stanford.edu) or a word processor (e.g. Word) to send the
following postscript program down to the printer.

	serverdict begin 0 exitserver
	statusdict begin
	false setdostartpage
	end

This will prevent the test page from being printed whenever the printer is
started-up.  If you need to have the test page printed simply change the third
line to read

	true setdostartpage
