I have a simple command file that does just what you want. It uses the SPOOLF command with the ;PRINT option. PARM S1="" , dev="LP", pri=8 if NUMERIC("!S1") then spoolf O!s1.out.hpspool;print;show;dev=!dev;pri=!pri else echo echo Print a spool file that is in the SPSAVE state. echo Directs print to DEV=LP,8 (default). echo echo PSPSAVE spoolid [out_device] [pri] echo echo Sample: echo PSPSAVE 1234 echo comment echo Choose from the current spoolfile list below: comment spoolf o@;seleq=[state="SPSAVE"];show endif Forrest Smith wrote: > How can I print a spoolfile that is deffered and spsaved? I have tried to change the outfence on the dev but the spoolfile is deferred so it won't print. I have copied the file, then tried to print, but the control characters aren't coming across. I do not have NBSpool. As far as I can see there is no way to change a spoolfiles characteristics after it has been spsaved. > > Forrest Smith > Ecometry Administrator > (760) 918-3705 > > * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * > * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html * * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
