	We have a problem with our forms control to the printer.  Namely, there
is none.  The problem comes up when we are printing special forms (ie. invoices,
etc.) and someone routes something else to the printer.  When the printer 
finishes the special forms, lpd starts printing the next listing, before we can
change the paper.  Is there any way to prevent this problem, for instance lock
the output file until the paper is changed and then release it.
	Please respond by mail and not by followup.  If there is any interest
I will post a copy of the solutions in a couple of weeks.
				Thanks,
				Gerald L. Collins
