Someone wrote awhile back about how to get rid of the printer
initialisation string. I didn't save the thread or anything and
couldn't find any of it in the archives.
I'm running RH5.1 (also happened in previous versions). I have a
BJC-610e that initializes every other print session. If I print
something then immediately print another, things continue without any
problems. But, if there's a pause between printing sessions, the next
one will initialize the printer and spew out garbage.
The only way I've found to keep the garbage from coming out is to kill
the queue from a term logged in as root before the printer gets ready
to go back to normal.
Someone else mentioned they had this problem and I know a scripting
solution was mentioned and I believe a script was offered that could
handle it. I wasn't paying too much attention at the time since my
printer wasn't even working and I was dealing with networking linux
with 'Doze. Now that everything is working I can't locate anything on
it in the archives.
Anyone have an answer, suggested fix, script or anything else?
