Does anyone in netland know how to stop the Lazerwiter from printing a page
on startup and when using manual feed?.
		Thanks

The page on startup can be disabled with the postscript commands:

0	% or whatever your password is...
serverdict begin exitserver
statusdict begin
false setdostartpage
end

The manual feed page can be eliminated by editing the Laser Prep file
with the resource editor.  Select POST resource -8187, and Open As...
a STR# resource.  Then delete strings 2-28 (the last string to delete
is "0 page").  The remaining definition should be:

/mf{gsave
sk{statusdict /manualfeed true put 5 dly}if
grestore}def

Have fun...
