I am currently using the 'ff' option in >/etc/printcap, which takes effect after the header page. ... What you need to do is write a simple output filter (called with the 'of' option in /etc/printcap). The filter writes the initialization string to stdout, then copies stdin to stdout until EOF. See "4.3BSD Line Printer Spooler" for a complete description of how filters work. It's in ch. 19 of "System and Network Administration" in my Sun documentation. hess@iuvax.cs.indiana (Caleb Hess) KE9LC
