We have a pc wich is connected to an automatic dataswitch. The pc now has 2 possibilities to print out files, postscript and hplaserjet. The data switch needs a prefix to switch to either postscript- or laserjet printer. The prefix in my case is @SETUP5 or @SETUP6. Is there a clue for WP5.1 end users, to make their work a lot easier? I've read TFM on it, but there are still lots of actions you have to run through. Does anybody who's familiar with macro's have a good hint for it??? Thanks in advance.......

This can be done by using the PTR.EXE programs supplied with the WP5.1. You will have to add your string (@SETUP5 or @SETUP6) into the "Initialization String" section for each of the respective printer drivers. Once you modify the drivers, the only thing you have to do is to re-select the appropriate driver before using it. Hope this helps. --Nino -- Janet: n.margetic@uk.ac.lon.ioe \ Nino Margetic Earn/Bitnet: n.margetic%ioe.lon.ac.uk@ukacrl.bitnet \ University College Internet: n.margetic%ioe.lon.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk\ London, UK Uucp: ...!mcvax!ukc!educ-isis!n.margetic \(+44)(071)387-9300/x5313
