(Thats a program that lets you use the Unix server as a Win95 workgroups file server). At least the "shared" printer on the Linux Server would ALWAYS give a form feed after the job. I only found a "work around" and not a solution. If someone has a solution then please post it: I'm listening. I noticed one day that a similar instaltion using a postscript printer handled the Queue's correctly (without the Formfeed). What I was using was a HP - LaserJet. So I installed my HP-Laserjet "as if it" were a postscript printer (without the printing filter) and then only used the "RAW printer" to printer to. This worked for me. Note that I only using this printer for workstations on the Win95 side. Maybe someone knows more about this.... my regards, Stefan Becker email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
