I'm using the software mpage. It is a very comfortable and easy to configure
package. You can find it at:
<A HREF=3D"ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/mirrors/tsx-11/sources/usr.bin/mpage24.t=
ar.gz"><A HREF=3D"ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/mirrors/tsx-11/sources/usr.bin/mp=
age24.tar.gz</A">ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/mirrors/tsx-11/sources/usr.bin/mpa=
ge24.tar.gz</A</A>>

e.g. For one side per page use mpage -1P <Filename>
     For two sides per page use mpage -2P <Filename>
     For a duplexprinter use mpage -xtP <Filename> (x=3Dnumber of pages per p=
age)
  and so on ....=20

Additionally it is possible to us it in Netscape instead of lpr. You can save
a lot of paper with it.

Try it and love it...:-)) (.....comments ?? ;-))

Ps.: Is mpage in the SuSE 5.1 dist included ? I didn't found it...

Another tool to try is GNU enscript which comes with S.u.S.E. Linux.
