Dear All,
As an ex-top poster and ex-thread hi-jacker, lets see what else I can
screw up.
I hope to start anew and on good terms and hope everyone will accept my
apologies. I didn't mean to ruin anyones thread or day by using this
mail list incorrectly. Let my ignorance be known and that I feel quite
bad about it, my apologies. I do expect plenty more mistakes to follow.
I've included Gene Young's reply as well into this posting.
Here's what I recently posted when I hi-jacked a thread earlier:
Is there a way to print copies of a document with a script or macro? I
would like to have an icon on the desktop that instantly prints out 30
copies of a document. The document gets printed often in our
restaurant, it's the kids menu, it has a place to color in pictures and
things.

Unfortunately you added Gene's sig (dash dash space) so your reply shows
as a sig & needs to be pasted back into the reply:
To get back with you Gene,
We're using Ubuntu 8.10 and soon to be upgraded to 10.04 next week.
I don't know if Ubuntu has the same feature for putting a shortcut of
the printer onto the desktop or not. I just tried to do it in both 8.04
and 10.04 I couldn't get it to work the same as Windows.
Would there be a solution as easy as this for Ubuntu?

The easiest solution would be to create an 'lp' script (see 'man lp')
and then create an desktop icon for the script. This question is
probably better asked over on the Ubuntu users list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users
Come on over & their are folks there that can help you tailor the script
& set it up.
NoOp,
Thank you for your response. I didn't realize the sig thing. I'll read
about 'lp' and post on over in ubuntu-users.
-Andy
