djscript - A text formatter for the HP DeskJet printer. SYNOPSIS
djscript [Options][<fil>...] DESCRIPTION
The tool's purpose is to make better use of the HP DeskJet's text modes. On one hand djscript enables the user to easily choose the differ- ent text modes of the DeskJet. On the other hand there are some add-ons supposed to make some if these modes really useful. djscript now uses the libpaper library to handle the paper name. OPTIONS
-F<font> Select font: `courier', `cgtimes', `lettgoth' (default: `courier') -P<prfil> Print to file <prfil> (default: -'). If <prfil> equals `-', standard output is taken. If <prfil> equals `:<cmd>', output is piped into <cmd> -S<size> Select paper size: `dina4', `legal', `letter' (default is libpaper default) -C<charset> Select character set: `ascii', `ansi', `ecma', `pc8', `pc850', `hpr8', `hpl' (default: `ascii') -lq Letter Quality instead of Draft. -itl Italics font. -nrw Narrow printing. `horizontal double density' (ignored with font `cgtimes') -low Low font. `vertical double density' -sml Small font, the same as narrow and low. -ls Landscape orientation instead of portrait. (works only with font `courier normal') -lph<n> Set the logical page height to <n> lines. -c[nw]<n> Produce multi column output of <n> text columns (n) or columns of <n> characters width each (w). -7966 Logical pages of 66 lines and 79 columns each. -m[lrtb]<n> set left/right/top/bottom margin to column/row <n>. -sf[hv]<x> Horizontal and vertical spacing factors. -pr<pgs> Print pages in page range specification <pgs> only. <pgs> is a comma separated list of expressions of the form i, -i, i-j, or i- where i and j denote logical page numbers. -il Ignore Ctrl-L characters. -pp Start each file on a new physical page. -sp Separate logical pages by horizontal and vertical bars. -sg Show the page geometry; do not print. -q Be quiet. -wc Show nonwarranty and copying info. -h Show help info.

TEXT2PS(L) TEXT2PS(L) NAME
text2ps - convert text files to PostScript SYNOPSIS
text2ps [ options ] [ files ] DESCRIPTION
Text2ps reads the input files (standard input if none are specified) and produces PostScript code which, when fed to a PostScript printer, will print the files. With text2ps it is possible to select any font, point size and number of columns. Options and files can be inter- mixed on the command line. Options are effective for all following files until they are overridden. Options Here follows a list of options that text2ps recognizes. Most numeric arguments are significant to one decimal place. Options are evalu- ated from left to right. Later options override earlier ones. -# n Print n copies of each page. (Default 1.) -c n Print in n columns. (Default 1.) -f font Print using font font. (Default Courier.) -p n Print with point size n. (Default 9.) -v n Use a vertical spacing of n points. If the vertical spacing is set to 0, the spacing will be 1.2 times the point size. (Default 0.) -l n Print n lines per column. When the line count is 0, print as many lines as will fit. (Default 0.) -r [p|l] Set the orientation to either portrait mode (p) or landscape mode (l). (Default p.) -b [+|-] Set page break mode. An argument + will force new files to be always printed on a new page (this is the default). After - new files will be put on the same page if there are still empty columns and the number of columns, the orientation or the number of copies didn't change. New files always start new columns. (Default -.) -mt n The top margin is n points. (Default 63.) -mb n The bottom margin is n points. (Default 63.) -ml n The left margin is n points. (Default 59.) -mr n The right margin is n points. (Default 59.) -mg n The inter-column gap is n points. (Default 25.) -t [+|-] If the argument is + the name of the file being printed will be printed on each page. If the argument is - the file name will not be printed. -t + implies -b +. -T text Print text as title on each page. This implies -t - and -b +. This option can be switched off by specifying -t - or -t +. (Default no title.) -F font Set the title font to font. (Default Helvetica.) -P n Set the title point size to n. (Default 12.) -B n Draw borders around each page. The number n specifies how to draw borders. N can have any of the following values or-ed in: 1 Draw a line along the left of the page. 2 Draw a line along the bottom of the page. 4 Draw a line along the right of the page. 8 Draw a line along the top of the page. 16 Draw a line between columns. This line does not connect to the lines along the top or bottom. 32 Draw a connecting line between the line between columns and the line along the top. 64 Draw a connecting line between the line between columns and the line along the bottom. When n is 0, no border lines are drawn. (Default no bordering lines.) -w n Tab stops are set every n spaces. Set the width of the TAB character. (Default 8.) -1 Sets up options to print in one column in portrait mode with the Courier font, so that you get 66 lines on a page. Equivalent to specifying the options -c 1 -f Courier -p 9 -v 0 -r p -l 0 -mt 63 -mb 63 -ml 59 -mr 59. This is the default. -2 Sets up options to print in two columns in landscape mode with the Courier font, so that you get two 66-line columns on a page. Equivalent to specifying the options -c 2 -f Courier -p 6 -v 0 -r l -l 0 -mt 63 -mb 63 -ml 59 -mr 59 -mg 25. Together with the -1 option, this is probably the most useful option. The name - means standard input. BUGS
Too many options. There is no way to specify where the title will be placed. If the font being used is not a constant width font and there are other characters than just tabs and spaces in front of a tab, the next character may not align properly. TEXT2PS(L)
