While this would work OK, it is going to be a bit tedious to do this for each page. An alternative approach would be to use th texinfo sources for the info pages. Yo will find that the info pages are generated from texinfo sources. There are utilities out there to convert the texinfo pages into various forms, including pdf and postscript. You then just have to send the file tot he printer. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
