postprint

postprint(1)							   User Commands						      postprint(1)

NAME

       postprint - PostScript translator for text files

SYNOPSIS

       postprint [-c num] [-f name] [-l num] [-m num] [-n num] [-o list] [-p mode] [-r num] [-s num] [-t  num] [-x num] [-y num] [file...]

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint

DESCRIPTION

       The  postprint filter translates text files into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no files are specified, or if
       - is one of the input files, the standard input is read.

OPTIONS

       -c num	Print num copies of each page. By default, only one copy is printed.

       -f name	Print files using font name. Any PostScript font can be used, although the best results will be obtained only with constant  width
		fonts. The default font is Courier.

       -l num	Set the length of a page to num lines. By default, num is
		 66. Setting num to  0 is allowed, and will cause postprint to guess a value, based on the point size that's being used.

       -m num	Magnify  each  logical	page  by the factor num. Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin, which is located near the upper left
		corner of each page. The default magnification is  1.0.

       -n num	Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to  1.

       -o list	Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A  missing
		N1  means  the lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest. The page range is an expression of logical pages rather  than
		physical sheets of paper. For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a  sheet, and you specified a range  of   4,  then
		two sheets of paper would print, containing four  page layouts. If you specified a page range of  3-4, when requesting two logical
		pages to a sheet; then only  page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would  appear on one physical sheet of paper.

       -p mode	Print files in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the first character of mode is significant. The default mode is portrait.

       -r num	Selects carriage return behavior. Carriage returns are ignored if num is  0, cause a return to column 1 if num is  1, and generate
		a newline if num is  2. The default num is  0.

       -s num	Print  files  using  point size num. When printing in landscape mode num is scaled by a factor that depends on the imaging area of
		the device. The default size for portrait mode is  10. Note that increasing point size increases virtual image size, so you either
		need to load larger paper, or use the -l0 option to scale the number of lines per page.

       -t num	Assume tabs are set every num columns, starting with the first column. By default, tabs are set every  8 columns.

       -x num	Translate  the origin num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system has the origin fixed near the upper left
		corner of the page, with positive x to the right and positive y down the page. Positive num moves everything  to  the  right.  The
		default offset is  0.25 inches.

       -y num	Translate  the	origin	num  inches  along  the positive y axis. Positive num moves text up the page. The default offset is  -0.25
		inches.

       A new logical page is started  after 66 lines have been printed on the current page,  or whenever an ASCII form feed character is read. The
       number  of  lines  per  page  can be changed using the -l option. Unprintable ASCII characters are ignored, and lines that are too long are
       silently truncated by the printer.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Examples of postprint.

       To print file1  and  file2  in landscape mode, issue the following command:

       example% postprint -pland file1 file2

       To print three logical pages on each physical page in portrait mode:

       example% postprint -n3 file

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.
