We have a need to print multiple copies of a file to a UNIX print queue. Is there a way to collate the copies rather than having them print all the pages of the file once, then again twice, etc etc.

What we want is all 5 copies of page 1, then all 5 copies of page 2, etc etc


I saw the -oCollate=Yes option for lpr but it doesn't work on my AIX5.2 box
Thanks in advance.

 
Is it a text file, with form feeds separating pages?
