See links for more: Wow! I don't know why I hadn't checked out a2ps before. I was about to suggest using pr to prettyprint pine messages but a2ps is a more powerful tool. Though it took a bit of reading to figure out how to get anything like the output I wanted... What I can't seam to find however is a way to suppress the the printing of an additional page with one line such as: request id is hp5650-227 (1 file(s)) Which I don't get when I use pr... Would you happen to know how to ditch the request id info page??? Otherwise I get fairly good results from: a2ps -1 -b"" -q --margin=13 --left-title=%E --center-title="pine via a2ps" --right-title="( page %p. of %p# )"|lpr -P hp5650 I use -b"" instead of -B to suppress the sheet header line that defaults to "printed by" because -B caused the bottom border line to miss the printable part of the paper! ??? I probably should ditch the -q as "-q, --quiet, --silent" doesn't suppress that follow up request id info page. <sigh> I used "pine via a2ps" because I couldn't figure out how you get an actual message title in the header. (If you mean you get pine to insert the text of the Subject: header line into the a2ps command it probably wouldn't fit half the time unless I moved the date and page numbers to page footers. But it'd be worth it if I knew how.) ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE71oDRZ/61mwhY94RAr86AJ4+XQ2Ayke29s9f29VAi+R/EuVZaACgrJns y6d8x/p4rbgx6GePkHsxXTQ= =g+Uq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | ? ? | | -=- -=- I'm NOT clueless... | <?> <?> But I just don't know. | ^ Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | --- J(tWdy)P | <[email protected]> | ? ? _______________________________________________ Pine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pine-info
