I am working on creating a script that spawns a thread and runs the Windows XP "lpr" command-line submitting a job to a poscript print server.... or something. It works fine, however...

Unfortunately the windows LPR command does not have any method of supplying a copy count (that I know of). In unix/linux its "-#<numberofcopies>". This basically negates the whole purpose of the script if I cant set the number of copies to print.

Anyone know of a way i can send postscipt print jobs effectively from a windows workstation?? Is there any lpr command for windows that will do this?? Can I queue documents with raw data and the OpenPrinter and WritePrinter commands??

Some advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
