Here's an easy one, guys: We have an Apple Laser Writer here at work, and I want to use the manual single-sheet mode of operation. We use it as a network printer with our Suns, not just for Macintoshes. The only doc we have is a user's manual, which tells how to print manually, using menu options on the Mac. But I want to use manual feed to print a job sent from Unix. So, what escape sequence do I send ahead of my file, so it draws the paper from the manual feed instead of the paper tray? Do I need to send some sort of reset sequence after I'm done, or will the lpr handler reset everything automatically for the next print job? Hope to hear from you soon.
