Re: [expert] Printing on both sides

mpage is used by the standard print setup for multipage printing (1,2,4
and 8 pages per sheet).  There are lots of options, read man mpage.  See
the -J option, it describes in depth how to print a long doc, one all
one side first, turn over the stack of paper and then the other side. 
Use the redhat printtool (still comes with 7.1, and set up two printers,
one for odd numbered pages, one for even and go from there (I use icons
on the desktop so its easy!)

btw, the Mandrake printer setup needs some usability features, so its
more flexable like the older redhat one.

Hi,

there's a group of utilities named psutils. There's the psnup, and the
psbook,
etc.  that lets you do a lot of things.
Maybe it can help you. I think that they are included in the last
version of
mdk.

Best regards.

Re: [expert] Printing on both sides

[Alfredo Carlos López]

Hi

There is an utility call a2ps (anything to ps) that allows you to generate a
postcript with
several pages in one page for printing.

Name: a2ps Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 4.12  Vendor: Red Hat Software
Release : 4 Build Date: mié 01 sep 1999
16:17:51 ART
Install date: (not installed)   Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com
Group   : Applications/Publishing   Source RPM: a2ps-4.12-4.src.rpm
Size: 2626604  License: GPL
Packager: Red Hat Software 
URL : http://www.inf.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/
Summary : Converts text and other types of files to PostScript(TM).
Description :
The a2ps filter converts text and other types of files to PostScript(TM).
A2ps has pretty-printing capabilities and includes support for a wide
number of programming languages, encodings (ISO Latins, Cyrillic, etc.),
and medias.

I think it needs psutils installed to work.
