See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge - IRIX comes with 'lptops', which, because it's called indirectly from 'lp', isn't as well known as it ought to be. Read the lptops(1) and gpsinterface(1) manpages. - Adobe Transcript, which includes 'enscript' (something like 'lptops') and 'psroff' (nroff/troff-to-PostScript) is available at extra cost from SGI. Most people manage without it. - SGI's own Impressario does PostScript and a lot of other things. It too costs extra, but is better liked than Transcript. See the impressario FAQ. - Popular free converters include 'a2ps' (at ftp://imag.fr/archive/postscript/), 'lwf' (in volume 15 of comp.sources.unix, e.g. ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume15/lwf/) and 'psf' (in volume 35 of comp.sources.misc, e.g. ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume35/psf3/). The comp.lang.postscript FAQ (at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.lang.postscript/) has a much longer list of such programs, unfortunately no longer including reviews or FTP sites. - One good way to print manpages is with the '-m' option to 'a2ps'.
