Re: Postscript conversion

["Will Parkinson" <willl69@gmail.com>]

Thanks florian, that solution is exactly what i wanted. 

I dont suppose you know of a way to print a html page to .ps or .pdf as a browser would see it from command line?  The conversion program i am using  (
http://www.tufat.com/script19.htm) works great, but it takes a while and uses alot of cpu time. The html2ps commnad line option work for basic pages, but for _javascript_ heavy pages it doesn't seem to work as well (although, im still teaching myself to use it correctly).

Cheers

Will

You can use ghostscript with the "psgray" device:

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=psgray -sOutputFile= gray.ps color.ps

You can also try half-toned images produced by "psmono":

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=psmono -sOutputFile= mono.ps color.ps
