Glenn, Part of your problem is in your printer configuration file (printer.name_config.data) under /sys/print. It should look something like what follows for a generic postscript printer. Note the document_eoj command is set to off. This should get rid of those funnies at the start and end of your file. ## configuration file for printer eepost printer_name eepost device PostScript model_number generic_ps PostScript_release 38.0 interface_type offline output_prefix eeps output ~/ paper letter top_margin 0 bottom_margin 0 left_margin 0 form_length 66 form_width 80 page_headers off file_banners off document_eoj off I hope this helps.
