If you're sending PS, it's "showpage". But it sounds like you're sending plain text. In that case, the printer will eject the page when it gets 60 lines or a form feed (\f, 0x0c). It may be just as easy to convert your text to PS before sending. /usr/ports/print/enscript-letter (or -A4) is handy for that. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
