I have an Apple Laserwriter hooked up to a NeXT '040 slab running 2.1
I notice that the print panel has manual feed grayed out when I select
my printer. Has anyone found a cool way to get manual feed capability for
non NeXT printers. I have a script that adds the postscript to enable
manual mode so currently I print to a file, run this script and then
output to the print spooler. I was thinking of making another printer
entry in the spooling system that does this extra step but this would be
a kludge.... Any better suggestions?, Thanks
