OK - I have been editing some of the documentation source files and
have a question about the "printing.txt" file -
In printing.txt -
"== Multiple pages on a single sheet
This is also known as n-up printing. If an application doesn't support it
natively, print the document to a file as PostScript and use psnup:
-----------------------------------
$ psnup -2 print.ps > print2page.ps
-----------------------------------
The first option specifies the number of pages stacked on one physical sheet,
the second is the filename of the original one-sided document, and the last
is the n-up (two-sided) document. You can then print it with
-------------------------------------
$ cupsdoprint -P nameofprinter foo.ps
-------------------------------------
FIXME - Should the file "foo.ps" actually be "print2page.ps"? I thought that
the output of the first command was to be used as the input to the second."
Comment - As I've indicated above (FIXME), the file output by the
first command is not referred to in the the second command. Is this
an error, or do I not understand this section?
May you always be Frugal,
Russell Dickenson (AKA phayz)
