Hello
When using psutils from fpTeX/TeX Collection I was faced with a
problem as follows:
For my document I do
latex mydoc
dvips mydoc
type mydoc.ps | psbook | psnup -2 -pa4 > forprint.ps
to produce a booklet on an postscript laser printer with duplex
option. But it doesn't work correctly. So I asked some
experts in printing and postscript. The advice is simple: go to
the very beginning of the file forprint.ps, search for the lines
"/setpagedevice {pop}bind 1 index where{dup wcheck{3 1 roll put}",
" {pop def}ifelse}{def}ifelse",
and delete them. Indeed the document prints fine. The two lines above
are part of the source of psutils - file psspec.c.
I decided to change an recompile psutils. I did it successfully for
linux. But I am not able to manage it for windows. So I would ask
around for help here.
With regards
