[wellylug] Printing from Evolution

I am having problems getting Evolution to print using my Epson LQ100 dot
matrix printer, under Mandrake 9.1.  The print options are: 
- generic postscript 
- generic postscript, print to file
- fax driver (via gfax)
- fax driver, save to file
- PDF writer

The default setting is generic postscript with a printer name of lpr.  I
have set up my printer thru Mdrake control centre OK and it works fine
using open office.

While I can print using the current settings, I get a separate page
printed for each page of printing that simply prints the page number,
which is an annoying waste of paper.

Anybody know what I can do to get Evolution to recognise my printer, or
else to turn off page number printing?

thanks in anticipation

Colin Lewis
