I have a file that for whatever reason add four blank lines to the top of the document to be printed. I have tried all I can and am having to resort other things. How can I delete the first four lines from the top of file to be printed?
The file is sent from an OpenVMS system to Linux RedHat 7.2. I use LPRng and lpd to sent it via samba smbclient to a Windows 98 machine. I looked at /usr/libexec/filters/smbprint and tried a sed '1d' <&2, but it didn't delete a line, and in fact, never printed at all. Thank you. The reason I need to delete the four blank lines at the top is because it causes the report that normally prints on one page to print on two. If there are multiple pages in the report, it will print out a page, have a page with a few lines for that page, and then start another full page, and so on. I never had this problem with smbclient on hp-ux (I had other more aggravating ones). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
