4087.1Some questionsIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Tue Apr 19 1994 22:1910
    
    What type of document are you printing?
    
    What type of ALL-IN-1 printer destination are you printing to?
    
    Have you looked at the VMS Print Job to see if it has a /PAGES
    qualifier?

4087.2Haven't looked at the page qualifierCROCKE::YUENBanquo Yuen, Darwin AustraliaThu Apr 21 1994 12:3010
    I have tried WordPerfect and ordinary text document.
    
    I have tried using both postscript and LN03 print style for the
    text document.
    
    I haven't look at the print entries see if there is any page qualifier
    but I will do.
    
    Thanks

Hello Banquo,

>    I have tried WordPerfect and ordinary text document.
    
I just tried to print a WordPerfect document from the WP menu and I wasn't able
to change my print settings, which to my opinion is the correct behaviour; the
WPS formatting field in the WPCORP record in FORMAT.DAT contains the value N.

Neither could I for the same reason change the print settings for an text
(ASCII) document. 

To select a certain page range for a WordPerfect document, print this document
from within WordPerfect.

4087.4Which page range?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Thu Apr 21 1994 14:0613
Re: .3

This refers to the WPS-PLUS Formatter Print Settings, and the First page 
printed: and Last page printed: fields on that form.  If the document type 
specifies that WPS-PLUS formatting is not used then this form will not be 
displayed.

I had assumed that Banquo was referring to the ALL-IN-1 Print Sub-system
Print Settings menu First page: and Last page: fields because he was able
to fill in the fields.

4087.5GOLD-E, not NEXT SCREENCROCKE::YUENBanquo Yuen, Darwin AustraliaFri Apr 22 1994 12:319
    RE .3 AND .4
    
    I am referring the printing setting (GOLD-E), but NOT the
    WPS-PLUS formatting setting (NEXT SCREEN).
    
    It is actually on the second screen of printing setting.
    
    Thanks

Yeah, you're right I was looking on the wrong place.

To limit your printed pages to a specific range you've to specify this
range on the Print Settings - continued (4) form fields LOWER PAGE LIMIT and
UPPER PAGE LIMIT. In your printjob you'll see 

	/param=(page_limit=(LOWER PAGE,UPPER PAGE)

If you specify the page range on the Print Settings - continued (2) fields
FIRST PAGE and LAST PAGE. This will result in your printjob in

	/page=(FIRST_PAGE,LAST PAGE).

Regards,

Martin
