Here's an easy one, guys:

We have an Apple Laser Writer here at work, and I want to use the manual
single-sheet mode of operation. We use it as a network printer with our
Suns, not just for Macintoshes. The only doc we have is a user's manual,
which tells how to print manually, using menu options on the Mac. But I
want to use manual feed to print a job sent from Unix. So, what escape
sequence do I send ahead of my file, so it draws the paper from the manual
feed instead of the paper tray? Do I need to send some sort of reset sequence
after I'm done, or will the lpr handler reset everything automatically for
the next print job?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Steve
