The only other way is to write a little program which can open a queue 
file and write a PostScript banner page on stdout.  I am open to 
suggestions for making the code in pprdrv_flags.c configurable.  Someone 
once asked for the ability to include a "message of the day" on the 
banner page, but it hasn't been implemented yet.  Do you have any ideas?
