017. I use the lp or lpr programs to print ASCII files and man pages. Is there any way that I can get more text on one page, hence less pages of output?

Yes. If you have a printer which can print postscript files you could try the a2ps program. Make sure you specify the -M option for the paper's size and the -m option in case you're printing man pages.

• prev: 016. Is it possible to make recursive downloads to mirror ftp or web sites or just download a file, perhaps while not even logged in?
• Index
• next: 018. I have more than 64 MB of RAM but when I use the "free" command to check the amount of available memory on my system only slightly less than 64MB show up. How do I get Linux to recognize the additional RAM?

Share and Enjoy
