Script to print multiple copies of the same file

Hi, this is my first post so I hope I have placed it in the appropriate section!

I have created a looping script to print a text file multiple times.

The script works great, and it displays the job numbers of all the prints that result from its execution.

The trouble is, only the first job emerges from the printer. :frowning: All the other print jobs seem to disappear (despite showing as queued in the print queue).

One minute they are in the print queue waiting for the first job to finish, the next minute they have vanished from the queue, but to where I don't know!

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. I am running AIX 4.

Many Thanks.

somebody might be able to help you if you posted your script ...
