Paul Huygen I'd like to print in all these formats! For TeX, dvips has -A and -B options for printing odd and even pages resp, and -pp first-last for page ranges. Just typing `dvips' gives a quick summary, while the whole story is in a info/texinfo document. For Postscript, psselect was already mentioned, but the interactive viewer gv also supports both odd and even markings/selections, as well as marking for printing individual pages. Keith

Hi all, I did not found anything about printing only certain pages. Is it possible? (I'd like to print odd pages, then even on the forms verso) I mean from the command line, not from a word processor. JY -- Jean-Yves F. Barbier [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * THIS TERMINAL IS IN USE * * * * *

If the postscript file is well-formed (which many are not), you could use psselect from the psutils package. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

Hello Margaret, with gv it is possible to print only marked pages if you first select them: In the left bottom corner is a non-text-box where you can mark either individual pages for printing or only even pages or odd pages (good for double-sided-printing of large manuals).

You may want to put page 45 in its own file and then try running ps2ps on it, like ps2ps page45.ps newpage45.ps which may produce something your printer likes more.

Re: Printing specific pages
Quoting Margaret Uy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I've been trying to print out the PostScript version of the Linux-user's guide (175 pages worth of it) on my old Apple Laserwriter Select 310. Unfortunately, when it reached page 45, it stopped printing. Is there any way to specify specific pages when printing a document (i.e. from page 45 to end of doc)? My printer is very old, and I don't think it could handle a lot. I also tried using gv, but print marked is greyed out and there seems to be no way of selecting that option. The only option I could choose is print all. I'd really appreciate any help. I'm quite new at this. If you can't find any software to do this, just edit the .ps file. Make a copy, then edit it and remove pages you dont need. Here's the junction of two pages in a typical .ps document: Fi(hw)p 1013 2911 V 15 w(info)e Fj(and)h(con\014g)g(en)o(tries.)p eop %%Page: 37 37 37 36 bop 0 -84 1950 3 v 0 -100 a Ff(7.)37 b(Debugging)13 Just cut from a point starting with %%Page: through to a point finishing with eop (end of page). eop may not be on its own line, but should than have a space before it, like this eop Then print the edited copy. (Take out double pages if you can print in duplex.)

There is a program called psselect in package psutils. Bye, Giuseppe

Re: Printing specific pages
You could try to compile and use the program psselect from the PSUtils toolbox. Have a look at http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/ajcd/psutils/ It allows you to extract given pages from a multi-page postscript document.
