Credit where credit is due: Judson was going over pipes, I showed a2ps
to the group.
Either way, don't forget that a2ps can format a variable number of
sheets per page: you can specify however you like with --columns=n or
--rows=n (where n is a number), but a common few defaults have built in
switches.
From the doc page on the web:
Option: -1
1 x 1 portrait, 80 chars/line, major rows (i.e. alias for
`--columns=1 --rows=1 --portrait --chars-per-line=80 --major=rows').
Option: -2
2 x 1 landscape, 80 chars/line, major rows. [very handy! -mdk]
Option: -3
3 x 1 landscape, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Option: -4
2 x 2 portrait, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Option: -5
5 x 1 landscape, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Option: -6
3 x 2 landscape, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Option: -7
7 x 1 landscape, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Option: -8
4 x 2 landscape, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Option: -9
3 x 3 portrait, 80 chars/line, major rows.
Mischa.
