If you are just looking for filters that fix the staircase you can find four here: http://www.digitalissues.co.uk/html/os/unix/solaris.html Near the bottom of the page. awk, ruby, perl, and C. These where written for the lpsystem but will work fine with the BSD spooler and other print subsystems. Good luck, Rick
