Hi all,

I am using CUPS as my printing backend.  I am trying to create a CUPS
filter using Perl to insert heading & footing to a postscript file.

Both heading & footing consists for (Left) Page#
(Center)ClassicationText  (Right)Date.

The problem I am having is that all the location are hard-coded.  Is
it possible to not hard code the text location? (i.e I am using 32 150
moveto) when showing the text.

Anyone know of some postscript code to allow me to do that?

Thanks,
Kaede

Perhaps you could use the "alternate pstops filter" (see the links on the 
CUPS web site) as a starting point (though the published version of this 
filter is based on cups 1.1.19, it is known still to work with cups 1.3.x 
and should even work with 1.4.x).
