Hello. When printing text jobs on PS printers, ifhp search for a converter in ifhp.conf.
By default, it uses a2ps, which is fine. Which is not is the default paper size which is always taken as Letter, even if you call configure with "--with-pagesize=a4" (OK, it is noted somewhere that this applies only for PCL). Don't forget that outside USA, people uses a4 paper size :-) I have looked at ifhp.conf and found how to have a2ps to use letter. In fact, i believe that the following section is wrong: >> papersize= a0 a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9 a10 b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 archA archB archC archD archE flsa flse halfletter note letter legal 11x17 ledger tabloid papersize_default= a4 (modified manually) >> as papersize is always taken as letter even with its default set to a4 IMHO, it should really be, according to comments in ifhp.conf: >> papersize= a4 paper_size= a0 a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9 a10 b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 archA archB archC archD archE flsa flse halfletter note letter legal 11x17 ledger tabloid papersize_default= a4 >> But, looking at ifhp code, paper_size does not seem to be used! So, what's up Doc Powell ?? I suggest that "papersize", or "papersize_default" if really used, be initialized with the value given in configure, and not only "pcl_normalpage". regards BD PS: ifhp-3.5.8 seems to work better than 3.5.7 with Tektronix printers: no more PJL code. But i have not been able to use nls support, even with the latest gettext (and libiconv) installed with default paths.
