Using gv to view the doc I use a2ps -2 or -4 to print the doc instead
of lrp.  Enscript would work also.  I also print to both sides of the
sheet by saving odd and even pages to files and then using a2ps to
print, first the odd and then the even files.  That saves a 'lot' of
paper 140 pages on 35 sheets of paper.

HTH, YMMV, HAND
