During Printing

Pay attention to the following points during printing.

Using lp/lpr Command (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)

If an option is specified incorrectly, no error message will be output. If printing is not executed after
the lp command is executed, activate each utility individually and error messages will be output.
(Using Solaris, the error message is displayed on the screen. Using Linux, the error message is written
into the error log file specified by printcap.)

In text printing, the environmental variable TXT2PS2OPTION will be ignored.

In text printing, if a BS code is found at the beginning of a line, the print position of the next character
will be on the left of the beginning of the line.

In text printing, when there are multiple tab codes in one line, the positions of tab may be off due to
automatic line feed. If this happens, specify l or w option.

In text printing, the number of columns specified by the w option does not reflect the number of
characters actually printed. The actual number of single-byte characters to be printed is derived by
deducting the output column position (out columns) specified by the o option from the number of
columns specified by the w option.

If the same option is specified, or if s, S are both specified, the one specified later will prevail.

In printing images, If the print position option (l) specifies an area beyond the printable area of the
printer, data beyond the printable area will not be printed. (Using Solaris, it's impossible to output
images by lp command.)

Using txt2ps2 (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX)

When the same option is specified twice, the later setting will prevail. As TXT2PS2OPTION is analyzed
before the option of the command line, it is possible to temporarily modify the options already set in
TXT2PS2OPTION

by inputting at the command line

The default output of txt2ps2 cannot output the comment description (%%page:m n)of the page
number. This is because the converted PostScript language program controls line feed and form feed.
Thus, when the output of txt2ps2 is to be taken as the output of another application (psrev of
