Thanks for the suggestion. The first line works (more or less) on the command line, but gives the warning:

GPL Ghostscript 8.62: **** Could not open the file lpr .

(I say more or less, because an image isn't printed correctly but replaced by a blurry box.)

The second inside xpdf gives the very same waring, but prints pages which are not scaled.

Any idea how I could correct this?

Thanks a lot
