Hi there,

I have two single-page postscript files, file1.ps and file2.ps.

If I print these using the command:

lpr file1.ps file2.ps

... then they come out on the same piece of paper (on different
sides).

However, if I print them like this:

lpr file1.ps; lpr file2.ps

... then they come out on separate sheets, as I would want.

I have a couple of questions arising from this:

(1) What is it in the postscript in file1.ps that causes this to
    happen?  What is needed to properly terminate a postscript
    job/page?

(2) My understanding is that even if they are passed to lpr in the
    same command, they should still be filtered and processed
    separately, so why does lpr file1.ps file2.ps produce a different
    result from lpr file1.ps; lpr file2.ps.  I suppose I'd like to
    know what happens differently in each case.

I'm using LRRng-3.8.10

Thanks for any info
