But i wan to staple different sets within a single job, for this purposes

staple different sets within single PostScript file from HP 8150 printer
???


I don't know. The application I work on (DCPS, the print driver for
the OpenVMS operating system) controls stapling, but once we turn it
on, it's on for the whole job.

Perhaps someone with more experience stapling sets, and with the
LaserJet 8150 printer in particular, can help you.

Have you tried asking in the HP IT Resource Center?

Try the following approach:
(1) At the beginning of the job, set up the setpagedevice dictionary to completely
switch off stapling.
If you do not know exactly what your procset and setup sections really do,
insert the required code just before the %%EndSetup comment (or, if that is
missing, before the first %%Page: comment).
(2) Bracket each set to be stapled with the following:
userdict/my_save save put
% set up the stapling code as you need at this point
% Copy the pages belonging to this set here
% ...
userdict/my_save get restore
(3) Repeat step 2 for all the sets you need to staple.

For the details why and how it works, see the device control sections in the PLRM
(if you really need to know).
