Hmm, that doesn't seem to work. Probably due to the setup I (am forced
to) have. I use a lpd server to access the printers (URI:
lpd://printer.server:515/name). The printer uses the 'raw' driver. The
command:
$ lp -o number-up=2 mozilla.ps
has absolutely no effect at all. I guess that if the printer server
were running CUPS (ipp) then it would work better.
In LPRng I'd set up a "virtual" printer that first filters all its jobs
through psnup and then sends it on to the printer server. Can I do
something similar in CUPS?
