We have 150 Windows 9x client printing through Samba to LPRng (3.7.4).
Our five dot matrix printers always spit out an extra form feed after
every print job. I think I've tried every trick (from this mailing
list archive and deja.com) to solve this problem but have failed.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Can a filter take off
the trailing form feed?
