That is part of the problem. Also, rexxtry is your friend. With lprportd
running:

[d:\tmp]rexxtry say stream('\PIPE\LPD0','C','OPEN WRITE')
READY:

and without:

[d:\tmp]rexxtry say stream('\PIPE\LPD0','C','OPEN WRITE')
ERROR:23

Stream's state command is not the best for testing access to the pipe.

Yes. Ben's script is generating a postscript file. The real goal is to
send the file to the printer via his print server.
