Booklet Printing with Lyx
Does anyone know of a good way to print in booklet style on letter size paper? I worked for several hours yesterday and after much trial and error I got something to work but it is not an elegant solution. I used the postscript utilities plus some strange paper and margin settings in Lyx to achieve the desired results. I had to select a custom papersize of 5.5 inches by 11.5 inches, a top margin of 1.25 inches, left margin of 0.4in, right margin of 0.75 inches and a header margin of 1.5 inches. This was done on the default document article class. I then printed to a file (file.ps). And used the following commands. psbook file.ps file2.ps psnup -w8.5in -h11in -W5.5in -H8.5in file2.ps file3.ps gv file3.ps I then printed selected pages from Ghostview. I think the reason for the strange settings in Lyx is that dvip automatically processes assuming letter size paper. At least that is what appears on the command line in Lyx when I tell it to print to a file. Anyway, if someone knows of a simpler and more straight forward way to do this please let me know.

Try the attached script. #!/bin/sh # script for book generation. # Examples of use: man -t command | book | lpr -Pprinter # This will print the man pages in book format and # both sides. If you need file out, say: #man -t command |book out.ps # # You can use: cat name.ps | book name2.ps PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin export PATH PSBOOK=/usr/local/bin/psbook PSNUP=/usr/local/bin/psnup PSTOPS=/usr/local/bin/pstops if test $# -gt 0; then for N in $*; do $PSBOOK -q $N | $PSNUP -q -2 | $PSTOPS -q "2:0,1U(1w,1h)" done else $PSBOOK -q | $PSNUP -q -2 | $PSTOPS -q "2:0,1U(1w,1h)" fi
