Dear List, When I try to print ascii text files the type comes out very tiny (as when printing two pages on one sheet). I can't figure out how to make it print normally. I suspect apsfilter. Printing to lpr -Praw or echoing to /dev/lp0 renders normal type. Printing .html files or man pages works fine. I've looked in apsfilterrc and a2ps-site.cfg, but I don't find any clues. I've tried to configure apsfilter from both yast and SETUP. I've tried reinstalling the aps package. And still tiny, tiny, tiny. This problem began after I was messing around with html2ps and piping to lpr (which I now know was unnecessary. Was fine before. -- -ashley One of these days I'm going to completely organize my life. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Edit the variable A2PS_OPTS in /etc/apsfilterrc to specify the font size you want. There are extensive comments in the config, so you should have no problems.

Look at /etc/apsfilterrc and /etc/apsfilterrc.yourprinter and change them accordingly. The entry that sets print to 2 pages per sheets is "FEATURE=2n" Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.3 Kernel 2.2.13 KDE 1.1.2
