hi folks,
The printer use is hooked up to a little printserver/router which
runs an lp queue. I can't access it directly, so instead I go through
a shared windows printer queue on anotherm achine.
Prining works fine, but lately, I've been printing out Openoffice
Impress slideshows to take notes on. This works best if I print the
slideshows in 4-up mode. However, there's no "n-up" configuration in
either the Openoffice print dialog, orthe CUPS web-based printer configuration
screens.
Does anyone knowa work3aroun1d for this situation? I imagine, given
that OOo (this is 1.9.108, btw, using the packages from
people.debian.org) seems to lack a native n-up processing utility,
that the best thing to do would be to somehow rig up a new printer
definition in CUPS which somehow piped the data into a 4-up filter
before sending it to the printer; but I don't know how to do this.
any hints?
thanks,
matt
There is a 4-up print mode which is achieved using the Printer Options >
Contents > Handouts and Page Options > Tile Pages settings. It's not
quite as useful as the handout page(s) from powerpoint, but it's better
than a sheet per slide.
As for printing to the lp queue in your router, that's exactly what I do
without the need to parse the output through a windows box. It's a
straightforward setup using CUPS. The setup for debian can't be much
different from what I'm using. _Reply_ to this message directly to my
address (gets it through the filters) if you want to work through that
problem off list.
