Here's another FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) that I thought I had saved but, now that I need it, I can't find it! What can I do to turn off the test page on a LaserWriter? I thought there was a fragment of PostScript posted here a month or so ago which I could send to the printer to do it. (I have the code posted recently to let you -print- a test page.) Also, isn't there a commercial DA or something that would let you do this? (I think e-mail response would be most appropriate.) Thanks in advance! Meta Sienkiewicz

One more time.... Use SendPS (at sumex.stanford.edu) or a word processor (e.g. Word) to send the following postscript program down to the printer. serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin false setdostartpage end This will prevent the test page from being printed whenever the printer is started-up. If you need to have the test page printed simply change the third line to read true setdostartpage Check-out Publish (December 1990) for more information -- +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | Truly, it is said, | | | `The arrow that is not aimed | | | Swiftly finds its mark.' | Wayne R Fiori | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
