I'll assume that you're using 3.2v5.0.5 and HPNP (HP Network
Printing).  The script you posted is part 1 of a two part mess.  Look
in:
   /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/model.orig/name-of-your-printer
for the "real" print spooler script.  However, something else is wrong
because the leading banner page is suppose to have the XXXXXX on the
first page.  Look for accidental double spacing which is probably a
function of the internal printer settings (i.e. add a LF for every
CR).

Tony answered all your questions on butchering the spooler scripts.
When you're done with that exercise, may I suggest you abandon the
HPNP pretzel, and try "netcat" which prints directly to the IP socket

Psst - Wanna work for yourself?
