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. Mike Hurley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

Hi Mike: Try posting this to ale at ale.org (http://www.ale.org) This is a Linux group with a lot of technical types, you'll probably get an answer quickly. Regards, Irv
