That works nice in Netscape (change print box Printer: from lpr to a2ps) and you can print 2 pages in landscape, side by side or 2 pages one over the other in Portrait mode. I have a script that uses a2ps or enscript + psresize + psselect + psnup to print files as 1/2/4 pages on one or both sides. I do .ps and .pdf files from gv like that also. i haven't put that into the script yet tho. BTW altho I have a2ps defaulted to 2 pages per sheet if you want one page (or 3 or 4), the command is a2ps -[1-4] overrides the default. a2ps also handles files that have different extensions, ie gzip,gz, bz2, bz and more. I found a bug in the sheets.map file in the a2ps.deb file supplied with Slink. I notified the maintainer but never heard from him and don't know if the file has been updated or not. I have Version 4.10.4-4 installed. If anyone needs the updated sheets.map file, I will email it on request. The bug shows up when you try to print a gzipped file, it doesn't print.
