thanks for the google links. We had only the quick start manual. We contacted tally support they did not point us to the manual.
Sincei posted this,,,, I tried the pr command from unix with a page eject, page length 46. I sent it a file with line numbers. It completely drops line 1-46, - the logical first page - started at the top of the first page on logical line 47, printed half of logical page on half of a physical page, then ejected to the 2nd page and printed ok from there... 46lines to a page and correct page ejects.
so I am thinking it something we are missing on the unix lprsetup. the printer is on our network with a jet direct and working from a vax/vms system.

NAME
posttek - PostScript translator for Tektronix 4014 files
SYNOPSIS
posttek [-c num] [-f name] [-m num] [-n num] [-o list] [-p mode] [-w num] [-x num] [-y num] [file...]
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/posttek
DESCRIPTION
The posttek filter translates Tektronix 4014 graphics files into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no files are
specified, or if - is one of the input files, the standard input is read.
OPTIONS
-c num Print num copies of each page. By default, only one copy is printed.
-f name Print text using font name. Any PostScript font can be used, although the best results will be obtained only with constant width
fonts. The default font is Courier.
-m num Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin which, by default, is located at the cen-
ter of each page. The default magnification is 1.0.
-n num Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to 1.
-o list Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A missing
N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest. The page range is an expression of logical pages rather than
physical sheets of paper. For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you specified a range of 4, then two
sheets of paper would print, containing four page layouts. If you specified a page range of 3-4, when requesting two logical
pages to a sheet; then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would appear on one physical sheet of paper.
-p mode Print files in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the first character of mode is significant. The default mode is landscape.
-w num Set the line width used for graphics to num points, where a point is approximately 1/72 of an inch. By default, num is set to 0
points, which forces lines to be one pixel wide.
-x num Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system has the origin fixed at the center of the
page, with positive x to the right and positive y up the page. Positive num moves everything right. The default offset is 0.0
inches.
-y num Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis. Positive num moves everything up the page. The default offset is 0.0.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
