NAME
multiprint - map multiple pages onto PostScript pages
SYNOPSIS
multiprint [ -f font ] [ -F font ] [ -p factor ] [ -n name ] [ -P printer ]
[ -d printer ] [ -h ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -c ] [ filename(s) ]
DESCRIPTION
Multiprint maps pages from files to PostScript pages and sends the output
to the line printer. Each PostScript page will contain factor-by-factor
pages from the files.
OPTIONS
-f Use font font to print the body of each page.
-F Use font font to print the title of each page.
-p Change factor from default of 2 to factor. (-2 is a synonym for -p 2,
-3 for -p 3, etc.)
-n Use name as the filename in the page headers when input is from stan-
dard input.
-P On systems with the BSD lpr command, send output to printer instead of
the default printer.
-h On systems with the BSD lpr command, suppress printing of the burst
page.
-d On systems with the System V lp command, send output to printer
instead of the default printer.
-r Output pages in row major order instead of column major.
-s Output to standard output instead of to the printer.
-c Minimize the number of output pages by not starting each file on a new
page.
BUGS
Tabs are expanded to spaces, which does not work well with proportionally
spaced fonts.
