Here's another little trick I use when sending stuff to an OKI-400. Since it is not a PostScript printer, I use post1.6 to create the bitmap, but want to leave straight ASCII files untouched. You can easily modify this so that it works with your setup. /* * lpr.rexx * */ parse arg x if ~exists(x) then do say "Can't find" x exit end call open(infile,x) if left(readln(infile),2) = '%!' then do call close(infile) 'postlj -s0 -c0 s:init.ps' x end call close(infile) else copy x 'PRT:' This ARexx script looks at the first two bytes of the file, and if they are '%!', it is assumed to be a PosScript file, and is processed by postlj. Otherwise it is sent directly to the printer. -larry
