For those who are interested, here's what I've found out about my manual feed and page ordering questions: The question of whether manual feed can be selected on a page-by-page basis is, for this version of NeXTstep, at least, no. The printing architecture just doesn't handle this type of thing on a page basis -- it sets the printer up for the "job", and then images the pages using the window server. Page reversing *can* be controlled on a document basis, however, even if it's not done the same way as documented in the Adobe manual. Basically, you include a number after the %%Pages: (atend) comment at the start of the document. 1 means the following pages are in ascending order, and should be reversed; -1 means the pages are in descending order, and need not be reversed; 0 means the pages are in a special order, and shouldn't be touched. Many thanks to those who offered suggestions and help. --Dave Nanian, UnderWare, Inc. (dnanian@uw.com, uunet!uw!dnanian, NeXT Mail Preferred)
