Explanation: I have a couple of SunOS computers and I want to print to a remote lpr queue that automatically wraps the data in postscript if I dont use the "lpr -l" command. However, I have an application that will print directly but of course it just puts out "lpr -Pxxxx" without allowing for a "-l". So am I completely off base or what here ? Thanks for any response, Dave Duling duling@niehs.nih.gov
