I'm a little confused by this example. Let's say I have a PostScript 
file name "report.ps". How would I print it with page labels equal to 
the file name?

Secondly, is there a way to do this with PDF? (Apart, of course, from 
converting the PDF to PostScript before printing?)

Lastly, is there a way to use this technique with the printing software 
used by document viewers such as KGhostView, kpdf or Adobe Reader? For 
the first two, at least, it's "kprinter." Reader uses its own custom 
printing GUI, apparently--it looks like no other printing dialog on my 
system.


Thanks.
