  Well I do know that there is a postscript program that can be sent to the
LW to turn off the start page, but I don't know postscript so I can't help you

  But we had that same problem in the store I used to work at, and we found
that if we pulled the paper tray out just a little bit then the printer would
skip printing the startup page.  Not the *best* solution, but it works until
someone in netland is nice enought to respond with the postscript fix.
