Computer form suppression
i am printing from unix (sco 5.0.6) to a remote printer (okidata 320) using facetwin. it prints fine but i get a form feed at the end of print. i have tried using the "sf" flag in printcap but it continues to form. how do i suppress the form feed?

./butch test gives
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 2 main group 512 Oct 3 09:21 export
drwxrwxrwx 2 main group 512 Oct 3 09:21 import

and then forms to a new page.

butch = lp -c -s -o RAW -dfct_butch $1

fct_butch being the name of the printer.

is the placement of the "sf" flag in printcap critical?
any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Data
The link though helpful did not solve the problem. I am printing to "proprinter" as the designated printer, and have taken out all the possible form feeds that i can see. any other thoughts?
