Our SunWriter (=LaserWriter) used to print a status page every time it
was turned on. Some people found this very annoying and asked me to
find a way to turn this feature off. This was NOT easy to figure out.
You have to change a flag in the static memory by means of a PostScript
program. I feel that I used might be of interest to other LW users who
would like to get rid of that page. I am not saying that one SHOULD do
this; I personally did not mind the page being printed, since it has
PAGECOUNT on it, but if someone wants to do it, here's the way:
----cut here----                     Remark:
serverdict begin                     Yes, no matching end
0 exitserver                         0 is the password; produces warning
statusdict begin
false setdostartpage                 true if you want it back on
end
----cut here----
