Virden) Subject: Looking for help talking to postscript printers Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Message-ID: <1994Jan7.143323.9145@chemabs.uucp> Followup-To: comp.lang.postscript Sender: usenet@chemabs.uucp Reply-To: lvirden@cas.org Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Organization: Nedriv Software and Shoe Shiners, Uninc. Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Fri, 7 Jan 1994 14:33:23 GMT Lines: 19 I am attempting to write some code which needs to generate text files and then submit them to a printer. The problem is that on some of the systems on which this code will run, I will need to use lp and some I will need to use lpr. The TranScript software is the level that interfaces to our postscript printers. I am having problems figuring out for instance how to tell lp that I want the files to be printed landscape - I don't see anything documented in lp for me to indicate this. The same thing for things like duplex (both sided) printing. Does anyone know of some software which would provide me some insights on how to go about this task?
