[comp.text.tex] Landscape format

eesrajm@cc.brunel.ac.uk (Andrew J Michael) (09/10/90)

Several people have said that it is possible to get landscape output
from (LA)TeX using various postcript drivers.

However .....

What about those of us who don't use postscript ?  I use a LaserJet, for
example.

Thanks

Andy Michael

The Laserjet driver we use has a landscape option.  

A related topic: does anyone know of macros for folio-bound books, ie.
to re-order the pages so that when they are duplexed and folded once
the pages come out in the right order.  Folio for a 4-page "book"
would have pages 1&4 on one sheet, 2&3 on the other side (or a second
sheet for non-duplex printers).  Also interesting would be quarto and
2^Nvo, which would require the ability to print upside-down (which
probably requires rotated fonts, since many dvi drivers don't know how
to rotate).
