I have an office where people are sharing a LaserWriter
using PCs with TOPS Netprint and Macs over Appletalk
network.

The problem comes when people put letterhead
in the the paper tray, and  someone in another room
prints on it before they get to it.  :-(

I have told the letterhead people NOT to put in letterhead,
but to use the Xerox machine instead,  but given office
politics this does not happen.

Question:  how could I get the LaserWriter to print out
a sheet saying  "Feed in your letterhead now" and wait
for the new paper?  This would have to work with
Netprint and the Macs.
