I would not look to lprng to do this... it pretty much takes what you give it and will print to many printers.... I do something similar to this: 1) I run an app that creates a 'flat' text file of many backs (and fronts) of postcards. 2) I run a Rexx program (how's your Rexx from OS/2, eh? <g>) that takes the flat file and turns it into two files of fronts and backs, 4-up with appropriate printer controls. (PCL6) Do you need to print a bunch of cards? a few? > _______________________________________________ > Linux-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> > http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
