I'm getting a page of 'Classified' information between every print job. I haven't been able to figure out if is a setting in Linux Mint (I think it's setting for the printer in Linux) or my printer. I've used this printer before and not had this happen, but I was using a different Linux Mint distro. I'm trying to print my notes to study for a quiz! I confess I'm a little impatient! I don't know if there is a technical term for this page that is being printed. That would help a lot! Below is exactly what happened.

Canon Pixma ts 3520 printer.
Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
Cinnamon version 6.4.14
  • I have not installed any drivers for the printer.
  • After printing 4 documents I opened printer properties from System settings to change default to monochrome and draft quality prints

  • I applied the settings. Thereafter, a 'Classified Document' is printed between every print job.

I have no idea why this is happening....

I have to get back to studying so I check this later. If I have print anything, I'll put everything into one document, 1 print, 1 classified document!

thank you!
 


I think the term for this is a banner page. in a web browser go to localhost:631 you may get asked for your root password which is normal. This is the cups page. It is for printing. Go to the printer you have in question. under administration select set defaults. Then you get all the defaults for the printer. You will see a tab for banner. That is what prints on every print for you with information about printer and jobs. Turn it off. That should solve the problem.
