Hi Rob,
I did this once (long ago) for exactly the same reason.
If I recall correctly, I added some escape codes on the first line of the second
page, to instruct the printer to switch to a different drawer.
Of course, these escape codes will differ from printer to printer.
Also, you have to be careful that you choose the correct drawer the next time
you print something.
HTH.

There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third one works.

Subject: Switch between Drawers within one Printerfile
Is there an easy way to
û without breaking a printerfile apart in more than one file
û send one page of a printerfile to printer drawer A and another page of the same printerfile to printer drawer B ? The decisive factor of sending a page to drawer X is retrieved from the printerfile page header. I need to do this since the paper in drawer A is pre-printed, and the paper in drawer B is blank. In other words, I need to be able to switch between drawers within one printerfile. Rob Noordeloos
