Printer prints horizontally

Aplicable to

Symptom:

ASCII files are printed horizontally and in a small font.

Cause:

This is done deliberately. Doing this two DIN A4 pages are brought into one and a header is added. This is an advantage particularly in program listings.

Solution:

If you wish to change this behaviour the variable to be changed (FEATURE) is to be found in /etc/apsfilterrc ... from around line 241 to 257:

#       formats your documents...
#       here you can select between 4 predefined choices
