I would like to know how I can suppress page numbers and the associated
blank lines in a report being printed with nroff. I want to suppress the
page numbers as I am running the nroff output through another program
(an internal one at our agency) which controls the font selected for a laser
printer. The font I select can print many more lines per page than the
output of nroff, which leaves the nroff-produced page numbers in the middle
of my pages.
Also, is this the best newsgroup for this type of question, or is there a
better one to post to?

I'm not able to tell you how to eliminate the page breaks using nroff options, but I do have another suggestion. If possible, you might want to use the -rL command line option. This will change the length of the page. Determine what the page length should be for your printer with the given font and use -rL to set the page length. This allows those page numbers to actually fit in place properly and actually mean something. > Also, is this the best newsgroup for this type of question, or is there a > better one to post to? This is as good a place as any. However, there is a comp.text that might be able to provide a more complete answer. Mark Runyan
