The least hassle option might to be to load your photos on a card or memory stick, and use your printer's stand-alone functions, since I gather from your question that you are not embedding the photos in some larger document. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

For converting to postscript: graphics/jpeg2ps-a4 or graphics/jpeg2ps-letter. Multiple page on one sheet with psnup from print/psutils-a4 or print/psutils-letter. If you are already using it, LaTeX would also do the trick quite nicely. Especially with the Beamer class for nicely styled and formatted slides.
