Anyway, I imagine the problem with a2ps is that I forgot to tell you (sorry!) to chage its defaults of printing 2 pages per sheet or landscape just looks like 2 small pages side by side. Maybe someone knows the command line for this, I have looked thru the man page but can't find it, so you can edit the /etc/a2ps.cfg file and change the lines: # Two virtual pages per sheet # Options: -2 Options: -1 now "a2ps -r some_file_name" should print landscape, properly. You may want to try some of the many options for a2ps to format it with a title etc. Sorry for the oversight! -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
