If necessary, you can get printcap to do that for you. Realise this. Would have to be somewhat smart, to detect if they were already there (Windows via Samba), or it would probably be easier to create two queues, one that added and the other that didn't. >What happens for two page documents? Do they both come out, or just >the first one? Multipage documents come out fine, no trailing blank page, no flashing LED. Whether you get the flashing LED or not, depends on if you cat or lpr and/or the Postscript itself. >I'm attaching a PostScript document that prints just fine on my HP >LaserJet 6MP. Try it and see whether you can print it. If so, you Great, the 6MP is basically the same as the 2100M. However, you didn't attach any PS file :-) I did read the handbook entries, I have the stairstepping on pure text problem (LF/CR issue) and the parts about the formfeeds/LED staying lit, but none seemed to exactly fit what i was seeing, plus I tried all the suggested solutions and they didn't help.
