I used to have a Toshiba network printer/photocopier with output sorting, Duplexing, stapling etc., and wanted to do something similar (The Windows drivers had these facilities in the GUI). I ended up viewing the output to find out what the relevent PCL codes were Then I amended the printer spooler back-end route so that after Ghostscript had converted my printouts from postscript to PCL, a simple sed command replaced a standard header PCL command with one of mine instead, just prior to sending it to the device. The actual parameters I wanted inserting I passed in either the title or job parameter of the lpr command. Unfortunately, it was a while since, and I can't remember exactly what I had to change, but a quick read of the man pages and docs for lpr should tell you which scripts need changing. While I know that this was a but ugly, it did work. > > Can you help me??? > > Thanks > > Luis -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
