man vprint (Commandes) - print filter to break long lines

NAME

vprint - print filter to break long lines

SYNOPSIS

vprint [ dimensions ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

vprint is a print filter that permits one to print a file with very long lines by continuing a long line onto another page. It has been written specifically to print a spreadsheet.

Currently, vprint provides built-in support for the HPdeskjet printers in Landscape mode. However, it may be used with any other printer by specifying the number of rows and colums.

EXAMPLES

vprint was written for the slsc spreadsheet, but can probably be used with other programs as well. For slsc, put something as

set printer "| vprint -deskjet | lpr"

in the slsc.rc file. If you do not have a deskjet printer, use something like:

set printer "| vprint 50x80 | lpr"

where the assumption has been made that the printer has 50 rows and 80 columns.
