I think that's supposed to be

stream('\PIPE\LPDn','S')

Ben, are your .cmd's bypassing the PostScript print driver and sending
the output directly to the printers? I'm unfamiliar with 2up.cmd and
don't know what you *send* to 2up.cmd (do you send it a text document? a
PCL printer file?) but the output sent to the PostScript printers has to
be in PostScript "format" (a text file containing PostScript commands
plus the actual print data), otherwise the PostScript printer won't get
the commands that it needs to image the page.

Where can I look at 2up.cmd to see what it's doing?
