NAME
postprint - PostScript translator for text files
SYNOPSIS
postprint [-c num] [-f name] [-l num] [-m num] [-n num] [-
o list] [-p mode] [-r num] [-s num] [-t num] [-x num] [-
y num] [file...]
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint
DESCRIPTION
The postprint filter translates text files into PostScript
and writes the results on the standard output. If no files
are specified, or if - is one of the input files, the stan-
dard input is read.
OPTIONS
-c num Print num copies of each page. By default, only one
copy is printed.
-f name Print files using font name. Any PostScript font
can be used, although the best results will be
obtained only with constant width fonts. The
default font is Courier.
-l num Set the length of a page to num lines. By default,
num is
66. Setting num to 0 is allowed, and will cause
postprint to guess a value, based on the point size
that's being used.
-m num Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages
are scaled uniformly about the origin, which is
located near the upper left corner of each page.
The default magnification is 1.0.
-n num Print num logical pages on each piece of paper,
where num can be any positive integer. By default,
num is set to 1.
-o list Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-
separated list. The list contains single numbers N

and ranges N1 - N2. A missing N1 means the lowest
numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest. The
page range is an expression of logical pages rather
than physical sheets of paper. For example, if you
are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you
specified a range of 4, then two sheets of paper
would print, containing four page layouts. If you
specified a page range of 3-4, when requesting two
logical pages to a sheet; then only page 3 and
page 4 layouts would print, and they would appear
on one physical sheet of paper.
-p mode Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.
Only the first character of mode is significant.
The default mode is portrait.
-r num Selects carriage return behavior. Carriage returns
are ignored if num is 0, cause a return to column
1 if num is 1, and generate a newline if num is
2. The default num is 0.
-s num Print files using point size num. When printing in
landscape mode num is scaled by a factor that
depends on the imaging area of the device. The
default size for portrait mode is 10. Note that
increasing point size increases virtual image size,
so you either need to load larger paper, or use the
-l0 option to scale the number of lines per page.
-t num Assume tabs are set every num columns, starting
with the first column. By default, tabs are set
every 8 columns.
-x num Translate the origin num inches along the positive
x axis. The default coordinate system has the ori-
gin fixed near the upper left corner of the page,
with positive x to the right and positive y down
the page. Positive num moves everything to the
right. The default offset is 0.25 inches.

-y num Translate the origin num inches along the positive
y axis. Positive num moves text up the page. The
default offset is -0.25 inches.
A new logical page is started after 66 lines have been
printed on the current page, or whenever an ASCII form feed
character is read. The number of lines per page can be
changed using the -l option. Unprintable ASCII characters
are ignored, and lines that are too long are silently trun-
cated by the printer.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Examples of postprint.
To print file1 and file2 in landscape mode, issue the
following command:
example% postprint -pland file1 file2
To print three logical pages on each physical page in por-
trait mode:
example% postprint -n3 file
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
