Subject: additional page is printed with each printed message

I don't know it this is the right news group, but I'll try it once.

I have a problem printing with pine. Pine itself runs on a UNIX machine, 
to which I connect from a PC. The PC is on a network and therefore prints 
to a network printer. Now, whenever one of the PCs on the network print 
from pine, an additional page come after each printed e-mail/message. On 
each page there are always the same three characters. 
Does any body have an idea where the bug could be? By the way this thing 
just recently started happening, after upgrading the network to LANWork 5.

Thank's for any help,
Chris

My guess -- and that's all it is -- is that it has nothing to do with
pine, but is part of the printer configuration -- either yours, or the
general configuration file.  Ask your local network sysadmin.

We, too, were having a similar problem.  Although we weren't getting any junk
characters on the second page, we always got a second (blank) page printed after
each e-mail message.  We use FTP Software's On Net package to provide TCP/IP
connectivity to Windows users.

We've fixed the problem (in Pine 3.95) by setting the Pine printer to 
"attached-to-ansi-no-formfeed" using the Setup option on the Main Menu.
