	Postscript?

	You define a "font" in the printer driver as
	colour, Set that font up with a code for 'on'
	as md co, then md nm (normal) to off.

	Thus the printer, should, perhaps be able to
	do it in one pass.
or....
	Other then you'll have to deke out the codes for
	colour swap and use them in the driver with the
	send-code-to-printer XPL code, which I have
	temporarily forgotten. There is something like
	that in the Help file.

	Isn't the Lexmark a Winprinter? Only can have
	settings from Windows, never DOS?
