I just left my SVR4 and switched to FreeBSD.  I crudely have my print capabilites
setup so I'm not without... however,

I was very used to printing landscape in two columns (lp -y group=2) and other
nice things that it had.  How can I do the equivelant on BSD?  Where can I obtain
some utilities that will do this?  a2ps seems to do a nice job, but it consistantly
leaves the second column off the page (yes, I tried smaller fonts).

Any help is much appreciated.
