- Okay you have several choices. If you can get access to an HP IIIsi with
- duplex option you can print double sided no problem (all you need is the
- HP IIIsi laswerwriter driver, which come with the printer).
-
- If that's not possible then you can try out the N-up laserwriter driver
- that is part of the DMM LW Stuff distrubition, this is a set of patches to
- the standard Apple LaserWriter driver to make it do all sorts of neat
- things including n-up printing (I have an already hacked copy if you want
- one).
-
- Places you can get this from (according to archie) are hmm, that's odd. My
- archie doesn't know where it is. I'll just check sumex-aim...
-
- Yes it's there in dir info-mac/utils the files:
-
- dmm-lw-56-stuff-12.hqx
- dmm-lw-7-stuff-12.hqx
- dmm-lw-stuff-122-updater.hqx
-
- are what you are looking for. If you have any hassle getting the files
- I'll mail them to you (via Eudora, of course!).
-
- If you need anymore advice about this let me know, they are also
- postscript packages that claim to do n-up printing on postscript but my
- experience is that they tend to fail when dealing with the type of
- postscript that packages like word emit.
