I just drilled down the customise menus until I found the item dealing with command line options for pr and added them in there. However, it soon became apparent that I really needed to be printing in landscape rather than portrait. So I ended up fiddling with the psprint options and got it working that way. Funnily enough I think that the print via the pr method actually looks better. Just can't work out how to print in landscape that way. Thanks again for your (and Kai's) help! simondo
