You can't (at least not directly).

However, if the "force Postscript mode" commands are purely from VMS
to the printer without needing to process any responses from the
printer, you _may_ be able to send the same commands using a device
control library for your form above.

See define/form/setup to get started.

I've used them in the past and they worked well for the various
types of printer devices I encountered back then.

Is it possible to switch to using DCPS instead of LPD ?

Simon.
