I have an NEC LC890 with two feed trays. The printer provides a postscript command for selecting which tray to use. I have found a way to imbed this command ina WS-WORD document, but would like to know if there is a general way of doing this for any application short of catpuring the postscript file editing and then re-subimtting it? Our printer is on an Appletalk network. Would ethertalk and tcp/ip and/or NFS change or provide some such solution? thanks harry levinson hal@world.std.com

You could set up two separate "printers" (eg "NEC-lower" and "NEC-upper"), and massage the postscript on the UNIX machine to get the proper tray to be used. (CAP is UNIX software for printing to/from appletalk networks, and filesharing, and some other stuff. It's free, but moves around. If you ftp to cunixc.cc.columbia.edu, you'll get a pointer to the current site. You'll need a FastPath/Gatorbox/Multigate or suchlike.) -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
