  16.  Hello,
  17.    What kind of characters can be sent between the two printing
  18.    strings: escape,control,8 bit, characters? What I thinking of
  19.    doing is checking to see if a file is binary in my printing script
  20.    and uuencoding if it is, then cat-ing it between the printing strings.
  21.    I would then add uudecode to the magicfilter, so I could print
  22.    graphics, pdf etc. Any ideas?   
  23.  
  24.                                                          Thanks
