I finally got around to trying this particular solution ... and it
does not work. Even if I successfully remove (or add) the "L" line in
the cf* file (via :incoming_control_filter), the change that I make is
not reflected in the hf* file, and it seems that the latter one is the
one that lpd is actually paying attention to. For example, the line
L=des
is still in the hf* file (which is poorly documented in the
LPRng-3.7.4 HOWTO), and the header still gets printed. If I stop the
queue and edit the hf* file by hand to remove that line, *then* I
don't get the header page. I wonder if this is "fixed" in a later
LPRng version? I'd update LPRng if it weren't such a huge pain in the
$*% to do...
Thanks.
