Your solution would be adequate if the question has been about "minimally formatted", though; but it is locale-dependent. The above command generates UTF-8 output if LC_CTYPE is set to UTF-8 and ASCII output otherwise. So whatever facility is then used for printing needs to take the encoding into account, whereas the solutions with -T ps shown earlier always work in the same way, ignoring the locale. Yours, Ingo
