PJL override postscript settings?

[cheyney]

I want to print previously generated postscript files. The postscript files were generated with a print driver. I want to override certain settings in them, like the job name, user, copies, etc. without parsing the postscript (or if i need to, is there an easy way to do this?) I have tried PJL and have come up with something like this:

%-12345X@PJL
@PJL JOB NAME = "job1" DISPLAY = "display1"
@PJL SET COPIES = 2
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT
<postscript file here>
%-12345X@PJL
@PJL EOJ NAME = &quot;END OF JOB&quot;
%-12345X

which should rename the job to display1 and print 2 copies. However it still reads the job name and number of copies from the postscript and essentially overrides whatever i have done in PJL. Is there a way around this? If not with PJL, whats the best way to change the settings in a previously generated postscript file?

thanks in advance,

cheyney

PostScript is a programming language, so as such there aren't &quot;settings&quot; that you tune so much as paramaters to operators.

However, &quot;jobname&quot; and &quot;number of copies&quot; are typically device-specific, and so typically controlled by the &quot;setpagedevice&quot; PostScript operator. To make your changes, you would need to edit the PostScript code.

Sorry, but can't be more specific without seeing the code in question.
