I have not had to do this myself, but I think there are some printcap options which should give you a formfeed before each job. Is that good enough? (before instead of after) check 'man printcap', and there's the options for setting the formfeed string, and the 'fo' option to set whether a formfeed is sent at all. If those don't work, then you would have to set up a filter, probably an 'if=' filter, which would just read whatever it was sent and then tack on a formfeed at the end of it. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
