Our rep who >helped install says that the HP needs to kick out a page to clean its buffer. Please kick your rep somewhere painful for me - he doesn't deserve to be called a rep if he doesn't know the product. I run Laserjet II's on 2.15, without banner pages. All you have to do is set the capture (one assumes you're using capture) mode to : CAPTURE SERVER= QUEUE= NB NFF TI=n The NB tells it not to print a banner. The NFF means 'Don't kick out a blank page at the end cod the printer already does so automatically. There may be a switch in the HP to set "Auto FF at end of document"; I don't know cos I've always used the factory settings. YES, the HP does need to kick out a sheet to empty its buffer, but really all this is doing is printing the last page. When it finds an End Of Document, it kicks out a page. I reckon it was probably NetWare that was playing you up. The NFF should do it. As an aside, I also use Canon LBPII's. I use NetWare FF (not NFF) to force a FF at the end of the document, and have disabled this facility in the printer cos it started getting a bit unreliable. But LJII's should be OK, I know mine is.
