We do this with one of our printek tri-trak printers. I have (3) universe queues setup, but only (1) unix printcap
/usr/uv/lpt.drivers/driver.PR21: (cat /usr/uv/lpt.drivers/switch1 ; cat - | /usr/mbin/lf2crlf ; echo -n "") | lp -d PR32 /usr/uv/lpt.drivers/driver.PR22: (cat /usr/uv/lpt.drivers/switch2 ; cat - | /usr/mbin/lf2crlf ; echo -n "") | lp -d PR32 /usr/uv/lpt.drivers/driver.PR19: (cat /usr/uv/lpt.drivers/switch0 ; cat - | /usr/mbin/lf2crlf ; echo -n "") | lp -d PR32 and the file switch1, switch2 and switch3 only contain the escape codes to tell the printek to switch tracks. Universe sees it as three different printers, but Unix sees it as one printer HTH George FYI, our particular printer needed CR/LF vs just LF's, and the extra CR at the end, otherwise you could eliminate part to just: (cat /usr/uv/lpt.drivers/switch0 ; cat - ) | lp -d PR32 >-----Original Message----- >From: Mark Waldron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 12:37 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Printers > > >Converting from DG/UX to W2k UV 10.
