Yes, this I have worked out. Unfortunately it does not help me greatly
however. The best I can do is use this script to call another program to
read the file in /doneq that relates to the job number, and from this I
should be able to get the name of the postscript file in /docq that failed
and then finally send that file to the appropriate remote printer. 

This brings me to another point, slightly off topic - sorry!. I use LINUX
and so want to use Ghostscript to send a ps file to a remote printer
(HP laser jet 4 plus). Prob is if a print it through lpr it prints
gibberish and secondly ghostscript wont exit from the GS> prompt without
manual intervention, I'm using the -DNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE and -OutputFile
commands, why won't this work?

Dave.
