Hi,
use /etc/qconfig file to configure queuing, the variable for the header page is header :
header=never
header=always
header=group one header before each group of jobs for the same user.

lpr -T titre : print titre instead of the name of file.

Regards.

set header to group and you should have the username on the header page. it appears like the result of banner command.

@+,

u can try it in a command line:

1. To display a banner at the workstation, enter:

banner SMILE!

2. To display more than one word on a line, enclose the text in quotation marks, as follows:

banner "Out to" Lunch

This displays Out to on one line and Lunch on the next.

From "man pages"

BUT IF YOU WANT TO PRINT IT:

'just add:

| lp -d <queue_name> for each sample 1 & 2

banner SMILE!| lp -d <queue_name>

banner &quot;Out to&quot; Lunch| lp -d <queue_name>

<queue_name = your printer queue_name>
