I am currently accessing a postscript printer via some version of Transcript.

My site has a frontend to it which allows me to run via flags several different
frontends before the output going into lpr with various flags.

This all runs under Ultrix 2.3.

What I am hoping to find is some way to indicate to the printer that I only
want to print pages m-n of a full postscript file that I am passing.

It seems  that the local frontend is running things thru pscat and then
into the lpr.

I know that isnt much help, but I am hoping that this will be enough info
to get the ideas flowing.  If this is a weekly type question, feel free
to mail me the answer.  But I HAVE been following rather quietly this
newsgroup - perhaps something came thru that I missed?

Lastly, when I try to submit large (more than 1 meg) postscript files, lpr
on Ultrix appears to get quite unhappy.  Is there any solution to that? 
Even smaller files often partially print at times - but that might be 
yet another problem... sigh.
