- For years I have used Buerg's ljbook program to print misc. documentation
- files as little booklets. It does one side of the paper on a
- HPLJ, and then pauses while you take the printed pages and put them
- back into the paper tray for the second side to be printed.
-
- In an OS/2 DOS window, this doesn't work. OS/2 seems to send some
- reset command to the printer when ljbook is pausing, or before
- the second bit of printing is started, and the font changes
- orientation.
-
- Is there a way to stop OS/2 sending this reset command? I tried
- turning off the spooler, but that didn't make any difference.
