    I'd like to know if there's an app that can be run from the command line to print a PostScript file. You'll see, if I print a PS file with Preview it's OK, but if I print it with lpr it prints an extra page, and I need some app that can be run from the command line so that I can invoke it from a shell program for an automatic process.

  Does anybody know about an app that can do this or if there's a way to configure lpr so it doesn't print an extra page (the problem is that the extra page is not printed blank, therefore it is wasted, now this page is printed after every page printed).

  Thanks in advance
