Thanks so much for your responses.  I will use the estimator and also look into changing from lpd.  I have to be careful with generating postscript because ghostscript seems to create giant files that will cause us problems with remote printing over DSL.  Ideally, we'd like to send PDF files directly to the printer, but we experienced problems with our PDF creation using itext.  Until I can figure out how to rewrite the jobs correctly, I'm stuck printing pcl and some postscript.  I'm trying to get acroread to do the pdf to ps conversion.  My finding are such:

example:
pdf      2.5MB
ghostscript ps  200MB or bigger
acroread 20MB
pcl 10MB.

I've got various versions running in a test environment now.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again,
Jeff Borders
