Seperator Page

Is there any way, other then using an sep file and the driver, to print a seperator page?

Currently I have a PD printer setup to print to two ip printers at once, I would like to add a seperator page to each quede job without using the sep file and driver. Is this possible?

Victor,

Yes you could do this with the Script action, you need to create a file with the contents of the page then use this script to print it:

RePrint "C:\separator.txt", "HP LaserJet 99", DocumentName

This will print a static page, if you need to put job information in the page it's a little bit more work, let us know what you need.

I'm looking to do the same thing. Could you provide more information please? I thing I'm on the right track, because I'm making a conditional that if the job is less than 10 pages, to print, if more than 10 pages, go to the action group. I'd like a separator page to print with the username, date, time, and number of pages of the person who printed it. How do I do that?

David,

There are two ways you can do this, either using a sep page on the physical printer, there is more information on this at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102712

Alternatively we could write the file in Print Distributor, if you want us to run up an example send a mail to us from the support page at http://www.printdistributor.com/message and we will create one for you.
