- A few questions about Newsprint 2.0/PreLimn:
-
- 1. I can't get "nptool" to start up with a printer of choice. It takes
- the first entry in the printcap file, even if I say:
-
- nptool -Psp (where sp is our SPARCprinter)
-
- 2. I can't seem to get the "Manual Feed" option (from nptool) to
- *always* work. Sometimes it will work and take the sheet that I put
- in, other times the "C5" message doesn't flash and it will use paper
- from the tray.
-
- On the other hand if I use "pl file.ps :manualfeed", that will
- always work!
-
- 3. Sometimes I'd like to print a PostScript file double-sided.
- Is there any program/options that will first print the front-sides
- (odd pages) and then wait for those sheets to be put back in the tray?
- Such a program would be very useful, not to mention paper saved.
-
- 4. The fonts in the "small_openwin" directory are/should be in the
- OpenWin3 installation on our machines. Has anyone tried to just
- put a link to the $OPENWINHOME/... directories to save disk space?
-
- Answers much appreciated.
