okay,
I am just curious ... why this limitation exists? :0)
also,
are there any options to set ifhp to add a form feed only if one does not exist at
the end of a job??
I am having some problems because some jobs we print have ff and some dont so if I
set :fq: I get the ff even when I dont need it... ie a blank page after some
jobs...
basically EVERY job going to an hp4+ should have 1 and only 1 ff at the end...
any ideas on how to accomplish this?? (other than hacking the code :0))
thanks for the help...and sorry again for the junk post.

If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests
or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
