No, that will send the printout to the hold file. You can use the
administrators account, the motif version or the gui version, to change the
form type on the printer or use the usa command if you are part of the
printer group that is allowed to run the command. The SETPTR command used is
similar to the following:
SETPTR 0,,,,,1,FORM MAIL,BANNER UNIQUE [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2007/5/10, Jerry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
When the jobs are spooled they stay in the queue until we change the
form
type on the printer queues. We also have a paragraph that is run
periodically during the day that sets the form type on the print queues
using the usa command (SH -c "/ibm/uv/bin/usa -p HP2132 -F FILE").
