Hey everyone,
Just to save anyone else the time should they need it, we've written up a
print script for sgd. Since the sgd pdf printing stuff requires postscript
input, we had to write up a converter script for our users. This script is
pretty simple and if copied into a users PATH can accept a file or std in for:
jpg, tiff, png, pdf, ps, and acsii, and sends it to the unix pdf "printer".
Hope someone finds it helpful.
