I'm using LPR on a windows 2003 web server, to send a file to a network
printer (actually the pc controlling the printer). The command is being
executed in a batch file.
I'm being told by the computer operators that when the print file (which is
just a text file) gets to the controlling pc, sometimes it has lines inserted
somehow during the transfer process. These lines are not in the file on the
web server. A line with the full path to the file I'm sending to the printer
and a line with a FormFeed character are sometimes inserted into the file
somehow.
The problem is those two lines are not always added to the file. I'm
guessing this has something to do with LPR.
Is there are way to control whether or not those lines get inserted? Like
using a switch on the command line?

Thanks,
Keith F
