printer option in windows 2000

[Stuartp]

I have just upgraded an office machine from Windows ME to Windows 2000 Pro. How can I prevent the network printer from printing banner / separator each time I send a job to the printer? In Windows ME this was a simple option to turn it off, but I cannot find the setting in Win2k.

I will be very grateful to anyone who can tell me where it is! By the way in case it makes a difference, we are using HP Laserjet 6P printers.

Thanks.

Have you tried the printer preferences, right click on printer (as you would for properties) and select preferences.

Yes this was the first thing I thought of, and I've been through all the properties and preferences. I have found an option for separator pages but that only lets me choose another one, and I cannot find the option not to have one at all.

I found it, though it doesn't seem to match what you are describing but perhaps this is printer driver dependent. Anyway, I go to the printer properties for the network printer at my Win2K station and select the Advanced tab and the seperator page button at this tab asks for a seperator page document. If blank, it shouldn't do a seperator sheet. However, if the server is set for a seperator sheet, there is little that I can do to change this except at the server.
