hi toby,
to get 2 ps on the same sheet you need psnup or an other psutil. The point is
that ps describes a pages (or more) and the next ps files is automagicly
the next page what ever you do.
with the psutils you can manipulate the header and get 2 for 1.

Subject: LPRng: 2 printed files concatenating onto same paper
Date: 03/04/03 15:12
Hi there,
I have two single-page postscript files, file1.ps and file2.ps.
If I print these using the command:
lpr file1.ps file2.ps
... then they come out on the same piece of paper (on different
sides).
However, if I print them like this:
lpr file1.ps; lpr file2.ps
... then they come out on separate sheets, as I would want.
I have a couple of questions arising from this:
(1) What is it in the postscript in file1.ps that causes this to
happen? What is needed to properly terminate a postscript
job/page?
(2) My understanding is that even if they are passed to lpr in the
same command, they should still be filtered and processed
separately, so why does lpr file1.ps file2.ps produce a different
result from lpr file1.ps; lpr file2.ps. I suppose I'd like to
know what happens differently in each case.
I'm using LRRng-3.8.10
Thanks for any info
