i'm baffled as to why i can't get pr and lpr to just print a regular text file so that i get my headers to come out properly and to start at the top of the page each time. i want to print a text file with the regular headers and page numbers and have a bit of a left offset, so i try: $ pr -o5 file | lpr and it almost works except that, on each page, the top header sneaks down a little further each time. i've tried changing the page length, and using "-f" to generate a form feed but nothing seems to work and, in some cases, it just makes the output worse. so is there a trick to this? all i want is the ability to 1) specify how many lines i want printed per page before starting a new page, and 2) have the auto-header generated at the same place at the top of the page each time. it can't be that hard. can it? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
