Lightbulb AIX Printer Issue: Blank Page Printing.

We have configured Network printers in AIX 6.1. We are facing a Weird problem in Printing. While printing the user is getting a blank page after 2 pages.

Please let us know the cause of this issue and ways to rectify it.

If this is problem with banner/feeds how to view the default banner settings and how to turn it off.

Help Appreciated. Smilie

Are you saying that with a 10 page document for example, that the user is getting a blank page every 2 pages? If this is the case, then I can't see it being a banner problem. I'm *guessing* that it might be because of page size settings if it's happening in the middle of a document. Of course I reserve the right to be wrong! Smilie
