Spots,
I am trying to set up an initialization string that is sent to a printer
every time I print a file.  I am currently using the 'ff' option in
/etc/printcap, which takes effect after the header page.  This seems like
a cludge to me.  I tried using the 'is' option, but it seemed to have no
effect.  We are using a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 4.0.  Thanks,  -David-
