You may want to specify BANNERFIRST or BANNERLAST. I don't think that the NeXT printer, attached to a cube, uses the pscomm program. That's for serially connected printers, and is part of TranScript from Adobe. Without really knowing, I'd bet that you can't get banner pages on the NeXT printer. Glenn Reid
