Are you really that certain that the Novell print spooler isn't the entity
adding the flag pages?

Well, I suppose that's a possibility, though, I don't have the
same result when I log in the other workstations under my login, the
same as I do on the station with XP. I had previously disabled the
banner pages through the printer properties dialogue boxes, under the
"Netware Settings" tab on the other workstations. This option is not
available in XP using the MS Netware client software. The latest
Novell Netware client software download will not recognize my server
on the XP workstation, so that is not an option for me for the time
being. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hector

I'm sure there is an option in Control Panel/CSNW to remove printing
banners?

Coincidentally, I just checked for that this morning, and the
XP Control Panel on this particular workstation doesn't contain the
"Other Control Panel Options" that contains the CSNW dialogue box.
However, I just checked the Control Panel again after having read your
note and found it is an option in the CP itself. My documentation
instructed me to look in the "Other Control Panel Options" for the
CSNW, ergo, I didn't see the forest for the trees. My banner page
problem is solved!

You've been a great help! Thanks!

Remove the MS client. Install Novell's Client32, latest version and latest
updates. Resolve whatever problem may be keeping it from working correctly.

The MS client is a badly done, reverse engineered hack from a company with
a vested interest in having it not work very well.
