That is useful to know. Using
psnup -n 2 -p tabloid -P letter
(and then editing the resultant file so the header comments specified
the correct page size) gave a reasonable result. Not what I was
originally looking for, but it would have sufficed in this case.
(now, if only the printer would have printed it right; the printer is
old and can only handle really simple L1 PS. Sometimes it is hard to
get the PS converted down correctly so the printer will print it
correctly).
| psresize command can be used to change the target size.
This wouldn't have helped in this case -- I wanted the entire HTML to
fit on one piece of paper -- but this will be handy at other times
when I do want to scale a letter-sized page to tabloid.
Thanks,
