[comp.sys.dec] LPS-40 forms

Zaft@cup.portal.com (Gordon Christopher Zaft) (02/24/90)

Help!  We just got connected to our LPS-40 PostScript print server, and
it's all nifty-keen and all, but we have no PostScript wizards around and
these guys want to be able to print listings on this puppy... what
we're looking for is a form we can use on the print command line to
turn it to landscape mode and print 132-column...
	Can anyone in net-land help?

	Thanks in advance..

If it's Ultrix, the trick is you have to specify a width of 132 either
in the lpr command or in the princap entry, else the landscape mode does
nothing.

I think it just kinda works under VMS, but I wasn't paying that much
attention...

I should have mentioned that this is for VMS... 5.0-1.

Thanks...
