Re: Printing man pages in A4 paper

Maybe "mpage" could be of help. You can use it as a filter this way:

$ man -t setfont | mpage -b A4 -1 | lpr

the "-b A4" option is self-explanatory. The "-1" option means "a single page on a sheet", otherwise the default behaviour of mpage is "four pages on a sheet", not very easy to read.

Unfortunately, mpage has several other defaults that you probably want to turn off (borders, datestamps and such). However, you should not have any problem with them, just read the man.

Best regards.

Hello.

I use the command line

   $ man -t setfont | lpr

to print the manual page for setfont. But the
command "man -t setfont" outputs a PostScript
file formated for letter paper.

How can I get it to format for A4 paper?

Regards.
