:>Anybody know if this is true of the LJ3 also?  It would be nice to be
:
:This is true with the HPLJIII.  RET control and start-up page options
:can only be changed via the front panel.

I havn't uset either, but the HP Postscript cartridge manual describes
postscript operators "setdoret" and "setdostartpage" for controling
RET and startup page activity.  

since I have the manual open, if anyone is interested

integer setdoret   ! integer 0=off 1=light 2=medium 3=dark 
doret !returns integer RET setting
boolean setdostartpage ! boolean = on or off
dostartpage !returns boolean on/off

the RET setting is semi-persistant,
while the startup setting is persistant (obviously.. )
