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

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
