I have tried to send the output through a2pr and it has come though to the printer in landscape mode, but the printed portion of the page is still portrait. It looks like hell! I cannot conceive as to why it is so difficult to print something in landscape! I am new to Linux and I am not completely happy with some of these types of things. I am not a highly technical person when it comes to devices and this seems to create a lot of issues for me in Linux. Tell me, Peter, do you know what the landscape codes are for HP? I am not very good at this, but I absolutely need to get this landscape printing to work. I need to get a form processed that has to be landscape. Any help would be great. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Pete Nesbitt Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 6:22 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Printing Landscape in Linux.

Hi, if your working with ascii (test) files you can send it thru a2ps. "a2ps -r filename" will send it in landscape mode to the default printer. The other handy utility is fold. "fold -s some_file | a2ps -r " will do line returns in whitespace and then sends it in landscape as postscript to default printer. This still send thru lp, but the utility calls it. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
