Dear Denny, The functionality of LPR client printing is described in RFC 1179. This style of printing creates two files for every print job as follows:
1. Data File - Information to be printed 2. Control File - Job ticket information for printing the data file (formatting requests, number of copies, characters per line, banner page Y/N, etc.) The RFC outlines the structure of the LPR control file format in terms of the number of bytes and what each entry means. You could create a parsing program, as previously mentioned, to scan the control file for each spool queue entry created in order to flip the banner page value in the control file from Y to N.
