%d instructs gs to "burst" the document, one file to a page; e.g., # gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epsonc -sOutputFile=foo.page-%d.pdf produces foo.page-1.pdf, foo.page-2.pdf, etc. To do what you want, try using psselect (from the psutils package): # gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epsonc -sOutputFile='|psselect -p5' | lpr HTH, John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mdt.net.au/~john Debian Linux admin & support:technical services
