Wilton asks: > > What type of filter do I use to print man pages? What kind of printer do you have? "man -t <manpage>" will write postscript to stdout. If you have a postscript printer then simply pipe it into lpr. If you don't have a postscript printer you might seriously consider inserting ghostscript in your lpr filters. These days having a postscript printer is about as handy as an FPU, you can live without, but its a pain. (from an FPU-less NexGen Nx586-90, but a real Postscript printer) -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
