Command Line Printing: Printing Text in Landscape Format

To print a wide text file, use the "enscript" command, like so:

	enscript -r -dprinter filename

This will print the file, rotated on the page, with a heading. To suppress the header, use:

	enscript -Br -dprinter filename

Enscript can print your files many different ways, including printing two columns on the page. This is especially good for program listings:

	enscript -2r -dprinter filename

For more information about enscript, type, 'man enscript' at a Unix command prompt.
