I am new to Webfocus and I am trying to print a PDF on a HP multi function printer using Report Caster. I keep getting a front sheet with each print saying:
User: admin
Host:
Class:
Job:
How do I stop this being printed everytime I print a document as it is wasting a lot of paper.

I don't think this is a function of ReportCaster or WebFOCUS, it might be a setting on the printer itself...

User, Host, Class, Job appear to be mainframe output attributes.

Thank you Francis. As I have said previously, we are new to Webfocus and are currently trying to output to all of our printers. They all print this page out. Surely, I am not the first person in the world to come across this quirk. Our Tech bod's think it is Report Caster, IBI think but don't know that it is printer related, some think it could be a Linux Printer set up issue. We don't know what we don't know. I hope someone can answer my call for help.

If you send your report to an user by email, does it have that first page too?

If not, the printer job que manager does at this
If it has that info on the first page, RC does it.

Thank you Frank.

When emailing, no front sheet is produced.

I have just found I CAN print without the front sheet if I do the following:

In FEX add the following line to last TF:

ON TABLE HOLD AS PDFTEST1 FORMAT PDF

Then add the following Unix command:

UNIX lp -d &PRINTER pdftest1.pdf

Where &PRINTER is the printer name. This might be the solution.
