Message-ID: <27688@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU> Date: 27 Mar 91 13:14:20 GMT Sender: news@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU Reply-To: srb@beach.cis.ufl.edu () Distribution: na Organization: UF CIS Department Lines: 9 On our Unix 4.3 BSD we have an Epson FX-286. Even though the :sh: entry is present in the printcap Unix still seems to send the burst header page for each print job to the printer. Did anybody face this before, even if not could anyone take a guess as to what might be happening? I have been trying this same question in different newsgroups using attractive Subject lines but noone seems to have any idea. Any information regarding this will be appreciated.
