I wrote an script. If you try it, don't send a long file, try it first
with a single page, because the printed number is not very nice: a 7
millimeter box at the top and bottom edges of the paper, rough bold type.
I don't like the code I wrote to detect if the parameters are digits, but
its better than nothing. Very simple error detection. If there is a bad
error when separating the pages or printing, it will not stop.
#!/bin/bash
# ~/bin/printpagewithnumber
function syntax ()
{
echo syntax error: I expected \"start_page_number end step\"
exit
}
if test -n "$1" -a -n "$2" -a -n "$3" -a -n "$4" ; then
FILE=$1
let "START = $2"
let "END = $3"
let "STEP = $4"
if test "0$START" -gt 0 -a "0$END" -gt 0 -a "0$STEP" -gt 0 ; then
echo Got numbers.
else
echo Parameters 2..4 were not numbers
syntax
fi
if test -s $FILE ; then
echo Got file
let "PAGE = $START"
echo "I'm going to print from page $START to page $END in $STEP pages steps"
while ( test $PAGE -le $END ) ; do
echo "Selecting page $PAGE"
psselect -p$PAGE $FILE /tmp/pagina.ps
echo "Sending page $PAGE to default printer"
lp /tmp/pagina.ps -o page-label="$PAGE"
let "PAGE = $PAGE + $STEP"
done
else
echo File $FILE does not exist.
syntax
fi
else
echo "I will print pages from start to end by steps, adding a page number
label"
syntax
fi
echo Done
