I don't know which PS cartridge you are running, but the PS Level 2
cartridge from HP allows switching back and forth from the control panel.
It only takes a few seconds to do the switch.

In addition, this version of the cartridge can be controlled by software.
If you are running a MS-DOS PC there are TSR/drivers supplied to work in
that environment.  If you are working in a UNIX environment, the specs for
the switching codes are supplied so you could write a filter to put this
code at the head of your print stream.

A while back HP had a great upgrade offer for PS cartridge owners if that
applies to you.

Since we're talking about "shameless plugs" for Mr. Reid's books,
we probably shouldn't leave out the Green Book, one of the five or
so from Adobe and Addison-Wesley. It's an unquestionable must-buy
for anybody who's serious about PostScript.

I can safely say that he has been a greater positive

It doesn't?  Why not?  You merely need to pipe your ASCII thru the sed script
*before* it hits a2ps or enscript.

In the past, I've used a package called 'a2ps' which converts ascii to 
postscript.  It can be ftp'd from rigel.acs.oakland.edu and can be found in
pub/unix-c/postscript/a2ps.tar-z.

The program has a couple of options to change paper size (which you will need
to compile in).  Look in the Makefile for '-DHEIGHT' and '-DWIDTH'.  Values 
that I have used are 14.0 and 8.5 resp. for legal size printing.  You can change
the margin size with '-DMARGIN'.

Also to access our HP laserjet IIIsi's lower tray which holds the legal size
paper, I had to include the following code toward the bottom of a2ps.c and 
define the variable LEGAL in the above Makefile line with '-DLEGAL'.

    #ifdef LEGAL
       printf("statusdict begin\n");
       printf("1 setpapertray\n");
       printf("end\n");
    #endif

I'm sure there must be simpler solutions than this, but we use this 
combination extensively especially for landscape mode printing on legal paper.

or combining the image and the text to obtain the similar effect?

Hello,
I hope this has not been discussed already. 

I have been trying to figure out ways to change Appletalk printer type of my
tektronix phaseII Pxi printer from 'LaserWriter' to 'PhaserWriter' but
could not do it.

It used to work when I did:
(PhaserPxi:PhaserWriter) setprintername %works in Postscript level1
-->gives me: PhaserPxi as printer name and PhaserWriter as printer
type.

When I did the same comamnd in postscript level2 printer, I got 
-->PhaserPxi PhaserWriter as my printer name.

Does any one know how to set a printer type under postscript level2 ?

Does any one know where the FAQ for this group is ?

Thank you for your help.

	I dunno - it's not "real" [nt]roff, but it takes [nt]roff input and

this is probably a FAQ question, but i'm asking it anyway:

we have the following setup:

    1. a bunch of hp lj-iii's (various models) that are postscript capable
    2. adobe's transcript package
    3. sunos 4.1.1 on all workstations and servers
   
i have several dvips output files (without the TeX source) that 
i want to print.  these are easily viewable by ghostview and other
ps viewers, so i'm assuming that they're valid postscript files.

when i spool to these %&#(*ng printers, each one simply "eats" the
file, printing only the banner page.  our tech guys insist that these
are "standard" installations, and that the lj-iii's use the latest
postscript standard.  many suggested that i dvips these files myself,
but this is a moot point since i don't have the dvi files.

our printers *do* print all other postscript files that i have 
encountered.  the only exception are with these dvips postscript
output files.  

has anyone else encountered such problems?  does anyone have any
suggestions?  




thanks in advance.

I have a postscript file for drawing a coat of arms, which is too large.
Is there a simple way to rescale the image?

The file is more than 2000 lines long, is this unusually long?
