PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
To print 4 pages on a single page (assuming that the source file is a
postscript file), you can use the "psnup" command (which is located
in /s/std/bin/psnup in the CS Dept at at UW-Madison).
Example:
psnup -p4 -R -s0 source_file.ps > result.ps
where:
The -pn option indicates how many pages of Postscript (or
"spots") should be printed per piece of paper. N is constrained
to be 2, 4, 8 or 16.
The -R option indicates that the first spot goes in the
upper left hand corner and progresses to the lower right.
This is for non-reversing printers.
The -sn option indicates which spot the first page of output
occurs in. The first spot on the page is 0.
The defaults are: -p2, -R, and -s0.
For more information look at the man page (man psnup).
Potential Problem:
You may have trouble doing this with the ps files available here (which were
generated by Powerpoint). If this happens, sigh.
