Printing has become important again... :-) I checked your perl-script (i have to notice that i'm an absolute novice to perl) and found one problem: you have to tranlate the '%' in the current input line ($_) to '%%', because perl evals this in the print statement (i think). After fixing this i'm able to print documents with exactly one imbedded zip or raster in it. If there are more insets, i get the following error message grops:<standard input>:127:warning: top of imported graphic is above the top of the page and after this inset (even if it's on a new page) nothing will be printed. Any ideas ? Regards, J|rgen. _________________________________________________________________________ Juergen Henke, e-mail juh@qt.IPA.FhG.de, PSI-mail PSI%4571109306::JUH_IPA Fraunhofer-Institut f.
