warning--some may view this as offtopic to eu...I feel
it isn't because I may want to print off source of my
progs in the future..oh well.
Whenever I print in Linux, I get a time/date stamp I'd
like to get rid of, it wastes a whole sheet of paper
on my dotmatrix tractor feed setup. I think I could
use the lpr's -h switch, but I don't see how to do so.
I'm printing from within KDE, mostly StarOffice 5.1.
I think this is something setup through Linux because
KEDIT does this as well. I would just rename lpr to
something else and do a 'alias lpr="renamed_lpr -h",
but that won't work unless I'm inside bash. On the
printer setup in Caldera's COAS (administrative stuff
Caldera gives w/its OpenLinux), there's an option to
set ghostscript params, and I tried setting it to
'-h', but that didn't work.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Mike:

This is a Linux group with a lot of technical types, you'll probably get an
