For printing text files in "2 up" mode, I used to say print2up enscript -2r file.txt
I meant to say enscript -2r file.txt (copy/paste error from what was really an alias)
This worked fine up until FC4. In FC5, the left margin is cut off (when looked at in landscape mode, so that the cut-off left margin is that of the first of two pages on the page). Today I thrashed around until I found the following work-around: alias print2up 'mpage -2 -H -bLetter -f \!* | lpr -l' The key parameter is '-l' to lpr. Until I hit upon that, absolutely nothing worked. (I tried many options in both enscript and mpage, and margin-related options didn't help.) So, it appears there is some new "lpr filter" in FC5, at least for my printer drive, which is the default drive for HP laserjet 1220. Perhaps lpr should be smarter about recognizing preformatted pages for printing so that it can work without the '-l' option?
