I do not know if this helps. I had a similar problem and I decided to seperate the tasks. First I have queues for the incoming jobs. These are the queues other people see. This are bounce-queues, where the job is processed by the apropriate filter(s). I bounce all jobs to one router-queue for each printer I have. There a router script decides where to forward that job. Then comes the outgoing-queue, which sends the job to the printer. For you this would mean, setting the resolution happens in the incoming bounce-queue. Do not process or filter the jobs in the router-queue or the outgoing-queue. regards Herbert Engelmann -- H.
