I looked through the configuration of my lpr and it looks like it simply 
takes the .ps file generated by X Print and sends it directly to the 
printer. The problem is that no where in the lpr manual page does it say I 
can apply a postscript filter.

I'm afraid I don't use CUPS, I tried to last year but I could not get it 
working and I'm not that fluent in administration (I'm a 
ergonmist/programmer). I also was not able to find out what controls lpr, 
I think X Print calls lpr directly, at least that is what I have set up in 
the attributes/printer

I'll try and look to see where I can insert a call to gs somewhere past 
the lpr process but I DOUBT I can figure it out on my own so if you have 
any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! *grin*

Thanks for all yer help!
