Sorry about that, I'm using 0.91. Althought your ps-setup-code solution adds to the output postscript it still won't work, the reason being that each page still has a "setpagedevice" command. This seems to make the printer (or at least the xerox 2425 I'm workin with) start a new page. Although it runs in duplex mode (the duplexing unit is flipping pages as it prints) it's not actually putting anything on the back, if I remove all but the first setpagedevice instruction then it works fine. It would seem that the setpagedevice ps code should only be added if and when the format of a page has changed, since I'm in a hellishly busy time at work at the moment I really can't spend time making an elegant solution to submit back into the code base. However for my own use I'm simply going to move the section in the fop postscript renderer that adds the setpagedevice section out of the every page loop and into the one time only document setup section. this is good enough for me at the moment, of course it would stop any paper format changes mid stream, so should not be submitted to fop. Perhaps when this busy period (2 months) is over I will take a better look at it and submit some code that deals with it better (assuming it's not been done already by then). Thanks for the quick reply. Ken. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
