Tips ...
If you want to save paper, you can print several pages on one physical page using the psnup program. To do this, the document to be printed must be in Postscript. ASCII and DVI documents can be converted to Postscript using the a2ps or dvips command. (Caution: a2ps already puts 2 pages on one physical page.) With psnup -2 two pages are put on one physical page, with psnup -4 four pages on one.
There is also the program pstops with which postscript files can be further processed, e.g. the reverse side can be rotated by 180 degrees (see example). Further information can be found in the manual.
Examples
- cat asciifile | a2ps | psnup -2 | lpr prints an ASCII file with four pages per physical page.
- cat psdatei | psnup -2 | pstops '2:0,1U(1w,1h)' | lpr prints a postscript file with two pages per physical page. Every second (physical) page is rotated by 180 degrees.
