Using lp under CUPS I can do the following: $ lpoptions my_prt/2up -o number-up=2 $ lpoptions my_prt/4up -o number-up=4 And then I can easily print 2up and 4up from the command line. Can I do something similar in XPrint? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org http://magnus.therning.org/ Science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly conincided. -- Karl Marx
