Sure enough, it worked. done_jobs=0 forces lpd to not maintain information about previous print jobs (so running "a2ps test1.txt; a2ps test2.txt; a2ps test3.txt; lpq" only lists the last print job before it is spooled off to the JetDirect card). --rgiles _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
