-w
   Writes a message on the user's terminal after the files have
   been printed.

html2ps -T -W b -C h toc.html

html2ps -2 -L -C h -W b RNI-index.html | lpr -C"letter hduplex" &

alias html2ps='html2ps $HTML2PS'
 HTML2PS=-2 -L

in ~/s/scripts/tdat/html2psrc:

paper {
  type: letter;
}

change it from letter to A4.

run ./install!

Unpack, run ./install, it will collect the path for everything it needs then ask lots of questions of which to be installed where. Better answer the first path with *abs* home addr, i.e. /home/…/tongsun/

install path: /opt

ln -s  ~/s/scripts/tdat/html2psrc /opt/lib/html2ps/html2psrc

alias html2ps='html2ps $HTML2PS'
html2ps -T -C h html2ps.html | lpr -C"letter hduplex" &

html2ps -f :pj perlform.html | lpr -h &

-f include in other options file

Use local configuration file ($HOME/.html2psrc)

pro - Works fine for pod2html outputs. - The "autosize" feature of PS for the <PRE> output is really neat! - Size perfect when doing a 2-up printing

con - Can't work for all cases (e.g. unix??.htm). - Works fine for most of them. - Option "-W a" (follow all links) does a poor job and did not gather all, nor did it get in the right order. Test on notes 3703. but -W b seems works fine!

DSC compliance

By default html2ps produces PostScript code that is not DSC compliant. The
practical implication of this is that it will not be possible to use the
code with PostScript filters for n-up printing, reordering of pages, etc.
It is also not possible to jump to a certain page directly in previewers
such as Ghostview.

The advantage with the non-DSC code is that it can be 'reused' by html2ps:
you can rebuild an already generated PostScript file using new command line
options and configuration files. This is done by running html2ps with the
new options, and with the old PostScript file as input. This can save a lot
of time and bandwidth when converting remote documents.

It is possible to generate DSC compliant PostScript by using the option -D,
but this requires that Ghostscript is installed, and it can take quite some
time to do. Note: if you are producing PostScript files for others to
download and print, it is strongly recommended that you generate DSC
compliant code (i.e. convert with the -D option).
