[ale] printing envelopes ?

[David Hamm]

Chris,

I am familiar with printing from Linux and Lpr can't really do much with the
printer.  You could write a script to send out a header or some other things
but Lpd/Lpr is only a spooler that most people use to send print jobs to a
printer.  If you tell me more about your application I might be able to help
you print envelopes.

Subject: [ale] printing envelopes ?


Has anyone done any envelope printing from a linux box?  The envelopes 
are PDF files (we could easily use PS or something else, if that would 
be a better solution).  

I'm using lpr and I'm wondering if I have any control over the printer 
and what tray the the paper (envelop) is taken from and output to.  Can 
Lpr access specific printer trays or anything like that?

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Thanks,
CB
