   Peter,

you  stated you used the setup_file with an escape sequence. Was this an
environment file?
We have it set to print to two different device numbers for condensed
and uncondensed
using this setup_file option. If not, try creating an environment file
with the escape sequence and using it in the file equate or use the
setup option in the NPCONFIG file

16     (network_address =  195.1.1.237)       # IS dept     NMIS03
1000   (network_address =  195.1.1.254)      # IS dept     NMIS02
1100   (network_address =  195.1.1.254       #   cond print
        setup_file      =  LJ5COND.HPENV.SYS)
1001   (network_address =  195.1.1.247)      # Comp room   NMIS01
1002   (network_address =  195.1.1.253)      # Accting     NACT01
1003   (network_address =  195.1.1.252)      # Bnkrptcy    NBKR01
1004   (network_address =  195.1.1.241)      # Coll        NCOL01
1005   (network_address =  195.1.1.250)      # Litigation  NLTG01
1006   (network_address =  195.1.1.249)      # Litigation  NLTG02

I have it set to print condensed to device 1100 and uncondensed to
device 1000. Should
work the same with any escape sequence.

Hope this helps.
