print banner page

[riches85]

My boss came up to me the other day and told me taht there has been a request that teh printers print out a banner page detailing teh owner of the print job. Is this an option that can usually be done on the printer itself or would you have to make changes to the print server (providing we even have one) or change a setting on the actual desktop printing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

P.S. one of the prnters is a HP Laserjet 5si

well, it would be in the printer options for setup. I have a Xerox Docucenter and it's in the control panel/printers/properties for the printer. Check with HP website to see if that option is available for the 5

Separator pages are indeed configured in the printer properties (under the Advanced tab); in fact WinXP comes with three of them (*.sep) by default. If none of these are exactly what you want, Microsoft has information on making custom separator pages at:

you acually do this type of a banner page from the individual pc's on the newtwork that are sending the files to the printers. here's how to set these banner pages up.


A) On the main desktop click Start > Settings > Printers.

B) Then find the printer that you want to turn the banner on/off for. Select the printer and Right Click on the corresponding printer icon. This will bring up the printer options menu

C) Select the Properties option.

D) Select the Printer Settings tab. Under this tab there should be a section called Banner Settings.

E) To enable/disable the printer banner check/uncheck the Enable Banner check box.

F) At this point you can edit what the banner will say or leave it as default. When finished click OK to close the properties box and then close the printers window as well.

unfortunately you have to do this on each machine/work-station and for each printer.
