- Yes, I try to get help on printing and nothing shows up! It's in the
- preferences help file:
-
- Here's my previewcommand (for an RS/6000 w/ ghostview):
-
- *.previewcommand: ezprint -q -t /tmp/%s.n | eqn -Tpsc | psroff -t >
- /tmp/%s.ps; ghostview /tmp/%s.ps; rm /tmp/%s.ps
-
- [aside: ghostview doesn't handle taking stdio very well, that's why I
- redirect to another tmp file.]
-
- In your case, add this line to your preferences file:
-
- *.printcommand: ezprint -q -t /tmp/%s.n | eqn -Tpsc | troff -Tpsc |
- psdit | lpr -Ppsb115
