Hi,
Thanks for the reply..
C the problem is that when I print the file on neoware,the file has already been generated on unix so I cant recreate the file again.All I have to do is print it.The text size as printed by default from Unix is 2 big.So either I format it from the source ,i.e Unix or print it with a smaller font,eg a2ps but that command is not available in Neolinux.
So keeping in mind the above constraints,what would be the best way forward..?
The font, style, and general appearance of the text as it is printed is a result of the tool you use to print it with. The same way that notepad and wordpad will print the same text file differently, if you wish to have Linux print a text file in a different way, you will need to print it from a more flexible program. I am not familiar with lpr, but there are a number of text editing programs with interfaces ranging from the command line to a full X11 interface--each with its own capabilities for printing.
