Good day.

I'm trying to get banner pages out of LPRNG when using what appears to be
PJL code instead of PCL code. I have numerous application which currently
work that don't use the PPD file and use PCL code.. but now I have an app
which uses a PPD file and PJL protocol. How can I get lprng to bring banner
pages for both pcl and pjl protocols? Hope this made sense. I'm not that
printer/lprng savy unfortunately.

My Ricoh Aficio 1060 printer is defined in lprng printcap as such:

18008_RICOH
:af=acct
:bp=/opt/lprng/libexec/filters/pclbanner
:cm=Ricoh Aficio 1060
:filter=/opt/lprng/libexec/filters/lpf
:lf=log
:lp=18008_RICOH%9100
:mx=0
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:sh@

This work perfectly with applications using PCL code and I do get a banner
page as expected.


My new application uses a PPD for printing which contains the 'Protocol'
line defining PJL. I can print the documents, but no banner page.
