    *  Does anyone know how to get Apple LaserWriters (plus,
    *  NT, NTX) to print the startup page on demand?  What
    *  we'd like to do is send some PostScript code to the
    *  printer to generate it.  Note that power cycling the
    *  printer is not an ideal solution since we have the
    *  printers captured by a print spooler.  Any suggestions?

Here's a PostScript program that works on a IINTX.

==========================  cut here  =======================================
	%!PS
	startpage
	showpage
==========================  cut here  =======================================

Don't know what this would do on (say) a Linotronic, or a Display
PostScript server -- it may be specific to the Apple LaserWriter.
