we have XENIX 3.00 on Radio Shack Model 16b (I think == Tandy 6000) and
can't get rid of formfeed at the beginning of anything one prints. 
According to the manuals, setting BANNERS=0 in /etc/default/lpd should
not give anything at the beginning, but it still gives a formfeed; it 
does get rid of the banner page though. The application packages such as
SCRIPSIT manages to get around it so I think the problem is with
"lpr" or whatever it calls. I have to do a cat ...>/dev/lp whenever I have
to print on single sheets and that's very often.
Anyone facing the same problem? I would appreciate any help; I hope it is
not a bug which is fixed in XENIX 5.00 !! we still haven't got
the development system for 3.00 (supposodely it's back-ordered).

thanks in advance.
