Using dellpsif (Linux)

Use the -ps option only when a PostScript file that contains no %! at the beginning of the file is used as
the PostScript file. If a normal text file is input, it will not function correctly.

-w

, -l option usually correspond to pw, pl entry of /etc/printcap. However, this UX filter ignore pw,

pl entry of /etc/printcap. So, the option cannot be changed by each page size using pw, pl entry.

Printing PostScript Files (Linux/Solaris/ HP-UX)

If same options for the PostScript file that contains options, such as paper size, are specified using
dellpsif (Linux) or the lp command (Solaris/HP-UX), the specified option will be ignored.

Printing Image Files (Solaris)

To print image files from Solaris the user cannot specify the image file directly with the lp command for
printing. Make use of sunras2ps2, tiff2ps2, xwd2ps2 and convert the file to a PostScript file. Output it
using the lp command after the conversion.

% xwd2ps2 file.xwd | lp

The double-sided printing (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)

The printer without a optional duplex unit is unable to do double-sided printing.

Header/footer Option (-Hd=position:format:page, -Hfheaderfont)
(txt2ps2,sunras2ps2,tiff2ps2,xwd2ps2)

If the paper size is not specified when using options, it outputs the header/footer at the position of A4-
size paper. To specify the paper size at the same time to use header/footer option. (If the paper size
for the PostScript file converted by using the option is specified by the option of lp command for
example, the position of the header and footer cannot be changed.)

The margin is specified automatically when the option is used. When the option to specify the margin is
used at the same time, the value that is smaller than the value specified automatically as follows is
ignored.

Upper margin: 0.23 inch
Lower margin: 0.06 inch
Right margin: 0.03 inch
