Subject: Printing to a LaserJet 4Plus

When I print out a message in Pine on my Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 Plus,
the on-line and one other light go on, and I then have to walk over to the
printer, turn off the on-line light, push the other lit one, and then turn
the on-line light back on, to get the message to print out.

Is there any way of programming Pine to send a page-eject or whatever
other kind of message that would save me this little (but oft-repeated!)
trip??

Many thanks,

Joe Luttrell

Not really sure that it'll help you, but I set up my pine
printer configuration as

         sed '1!s/^Date: /?Date: /' | lp

as the personally selected print command. The '?' sign in this expression
stands for the ASCII form-feed symbol (octal 014).

This works perfectly when I apply "prYnt" command to several messages
on my HP-UX work station. Every message goes out on a separate page,
if you don't print them within full-header mode.

You will probably check your printer setup, too.
