I'm on a mixed network of Suns and NeXTs and have a
question regarding printing postscript files (*.ps).

On the Sun part of our system, we have a command, psnup,
which takes a postscript file consisting of many pages
and prints it 2, 4, or 8 pages to one page.

Using Preview on the NeXT, the format option is disabled
when working with a postscript file consisting of many pages.
Is there a way to print postscript files directly from the NeXT 
2,4 or 8 pages to one page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

psnup comes with NeXT computers along with pslpr, pscat, enscript and other ps utilities.
they have man pages and they seem to work.
there is also a nice utility on the archives named quarto for this sort of thing.

I agree it would be nice if Preview would let you change the layout this way.
