printing a line at a time

not sure about hpux, but in other forms of unix there is a sleep command that makes a script stop for x-number of seconds or minutes.

generically and depending on what hpux does, a script would look like:

print command
sleep xx

Or, I guessyou could make a script and put it in a cron that run every minute. That would work too.

Here's something to be aware of, that could be a problem, depending on your printer and your goals: The printer probably has a time-out value for how long it will wait for data to complete a page. (laser printers are by definition "page-printers",not "line-printers"). This is usually a number of seconds, after which the page will eject (with only your one line printed). If you can't find this parameter, let me know the model and I'll get you more specifics... - Will
