hmmm,
i had to do: pdf2ps my_file.pdf new_file.ps; lpr new_file.ps
or else i get "lp: nothing to print"
The revised command does print the file. Unfortunately, the file is a
beautifully formatted landscape document, and the resulting output is
portrait, with lot's of white space at the bottom of the sheet, and ~25%
of the data missing of the right side of the page.
BTW, the pdf file prints correctly out of acrobat reader for linux or
windoze. but sometime I just get tired of pointing and clicking.
CLUES?
aloha,
