Separator page in NT

I need to have a separator page that shows the file name. I have looked at all the escape codes I can find and none reference the file name. Server is NT4. Thanks for any help.
All I can tell you is that the seperator page is not a reponsibility of the OS, rather the printer driver. Look in the config of the printer for this option. If you can't find it, call their tech support. Also, on some laserjet printers, the option is in the configurations on the actual printer, in the LCD screen setup.

Well the PCL escape codes may be unique to some brands, but the actual separator page is controlled by the OS. When you choose the separator page from the printer properties, you must choose one of the premade separator pages that are installed by the OS. You of course can create your own page using the ecape codes. My problem is that there does not seem to be a code for file name. Some printers do have the ability to create a separator page, but it is very limited. As with the HP8150 I use, the separator page only applies when run on a Novell print server. Thanks for you help anyways. I will keep digging.
