Separator page

[Riadh]

Hi,

I want to set up a separator page onto our network printer. I would like
this separator page to be printed before any print job. What I would also
like is that the separator page indicates the name of the computer where the
print job originated. Has anyone any idea or developed a script for this
end?

This is very important. I hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
Riadh

Some printer drivers support separator pages automatically, check the user
manual for your printer and look for settings in the driver, it may already be
supported.

Ok I'll try that and will let you know. For information, the printer is an
HP LaserJet 4000n.

The Laserjet 4000 does support a separator page, at least it does with Windows
XP.
Open the print driver properties, select the Advanced tab, press Separator Page
(bottom right).

Hi,

I am aware of that. except that the sample separator pages which come with
the printer or the Windows Server 2003 (I am not sure if those separator
pages are HP or Windows ones!!!) do not offer any options of displaying the
computer name (where the print job originated from).

OK, now that we know you have a printer that supports separator pages.
Look at

I think your answer is there.
