From: Brian Reid <reid@Cascade> I have hacked together a program called "chopimp" that will cut an Impress file into pieces so that they can be printed separately. This task is difficult because all of the font cache management must be accounted for even in pages that are skipped. I will happily send this hack to anybody who wants it. It only works on "old" format Impress files (the kind that "oldipr" deals with) because that is the only kind I have documentation for. It saved our proverbial behinds this week, because we had a 266-page proposal that needed to be printed on a printer with a 200-page paper tray. Be warned that although this program works reliably, it was thrown together in a few hours after midnight and looks it.
