Hi Ingo, hi Mike,
See below for what i committed to -current. It would be quite
welcome if Jan could test on his multi-tray printer that the printer
actually selects the right paper for different -Opaper= options
now, and that there are no errors or warnings.
For each of a3.pdf, a4.pdf, a5.pdf, a3.ps, a4.ps, a5.ps produced with
"man -Tpdf rm > $size.pdf" and "man -Tps rm > $size.ps", respectively,
with "output paper" set to the respective size in man.conf:
no errors or warnings when viewing the PS in gv(1)
no errors or warnings when viewing the PDF in gv(1)
no errors or warnings when viewing the PDF in mupdf(1)
(Please let me know of other readers you would like to test)
Konica Minolta Bizhub 367 prints on the respective paper
Konica Minolta Bizhub 423 prints on the respective paper
Konica Minolta Bizhub C364e prints on the respective paper
(These are the multi-tray printers within my reach.)
I don't know gv but it will be working as a virtual printer
Out of curiosity: Mike, which PS viewer do you use on OpenBSD?
Normally I would hit ghostscript directly as I like to work on the metal
since I know what I am doing (well, hopefully after 25 years in the
business). Sadly, I can get a good idea of what a job will do by
reading the PS.
gv uses ghostscript but with a more user friendly(ish) interface. But
for any serious work with PS (and PDF) I would use my company's product
which has a lot more bells and whistles. Sorry, only sold to
manufacturers, not end users. And doesn't run on OpenBSD :( Yet ;)
And for PDF you can of course use firefox as it has it's own PDF renderer.
