Hi,'
'
Is there a way to have messages set to the printer so that they are only printed on one side of the paper?'
'
It would be very helpful for filing purposes, if unrelated messages were not printed back-to-back.'
'
My solution was to hardcopy each message one at a time,  but I have had many complaints from Chuck Hains about the waste of paper for cover sheets.'
'
Is there an easy workaround?'

No, there isn''t an official way to do this, but here''s an inelegant workaround':'
'
(ADVISE ''(EMPRESS IN TEDIT.PRESS.HARDCOPY)'
	''BEFORE'
	''(SETQ #SIDES 1))'
'
This will affect ALL hardcopy production under Tedit or Lafite.'
'
[bvm': Putting such a thing in Lafite depends on TEDIT.HARDCOPY being able to pass the desired info through.]'
'
[jds':  Having that feature depends on the people who write the printer interfaces documenting how to do things like this.]'
