The problem here is that most (all?) spoolers are too dumb to resend partial jobs. I may not want to print the job from the start again if I got 199 of 200 pages printed. Then I rather have a stupid lpd that forces me to manually print the last page again, if it happens (very seldom) that the printer is turned off during my job. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
