- Today I spend some time on the phone with a Microsoft support rep
- dealing with various problems. One was that the Control-D that's
- prepended to Postscript files causes problems of various sorts.
- I asked how to suppress it. I was told to put a line
-
- ControlD=0
-
- in the statements defining my chosen printer in WIN.INI. I did so
- and there was no effect. It occurs to me that I may have misspelled
- ControlD; other permutations did no good, either. Can someone tell
- me the proper way to specify this?
-
- Also, while I'm asking: Does anyone know if I can tell Windows to
- fire up my PC's 'lpr' utility? As is, I have to do this manually
- after printing to a physical file. I'd rather have Windows fire this
- off to my chosen printer directly.
-
- Thanks for any pointers you can provide.
