Sorry to bother you with this question.  I'm new at using a2ps so there
must be something I'm doing wrong.

I'm running version 4.13 on a SUN Solaris computer.  I'm trying to print
a file that is 132 columns wide, one page per sheet of paper without a
header.

I've tried both of these commands

 

a2ps -r -1 -l132 -B P.log

a2ps --landscape -1 -l132 -B P.log

 

Both give me portrait instead.

 

If I choose the option of -2 instead of -1, 2 pages are printed on one
sheet in landscape mode, but I only want one page per sheet.

 

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I just don't see it.

 

Thank you very much.

Jim Gardner.
