The plrm was 408 pages the last time I printed it, duplex, and probably wasted 100 pages on printer miss-fires, so I was out most of a ream of 24 lb super-white inkjet paper for a tenner, and probably 25=30 dollars in ink supplies for a Epson C82. And 3.95 or so for a 3 ring binder. My time, even though I'm retired, still ought to be worth $10 an hour too, and that was a day and a half of paying attention to the job at the printer resolution I ran it at. I don't know if I would have saved anything but a little shelf space if I'd have bought it from adobe. So I've kinda set myself a breakprice, if its less than 60 bucks now, I'll go buy it. YMMV of course. I used to be able to do this a lot better on my amiga, as I'd written an arexx script to do the duplex printing once the book was rendered to individual page numbered files on the hard drive. But I don't know how to break into the present cups pathways to insert such a handy utility here on linux, its too darned hard to get a printer to work, and once its working I hate to putz with it and probably break it. I haven't even found where I'd modify the command line being fed to gs to enable the page numbered but seperate files, and where to put them. Someone with a clue should clue me in. :-) Using cups and gimp-print. >> > Check it out: >> > http://mindview.net/Books/DownloadSites. >> >> I'd second this one. >> >> > - Tim Miller >> >> -Craig >> >> >> >> >> -- >> fedora-list mailing list >> fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx >> To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
