From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: It seems that the mpage version installed with the Linux release 8.0 (mpage 2.5.2pre August 1999) does not behave the way it should (at least, compared to what I used before, mpage 2.5.1pre2 March 1998). Namely, it indeed places two pages on one sheet, but then it prints an empty sheet after each one containing text. Comparing the versions produced by the two versions (starting from identical PS files), this defect can be corrected by eliminating the double occurrence of "showsheet" in the instances (produced by version 2.5.2): b Fm(is)f(tr)-5 b(ansitive.)51 b(If)37 b Fo(r)d Fr(\025)e Ft(2)p Fm(,)p eop % %%Page: 3 3 grestore showsheet showsheet %%Page: 2 2 gsave 18 774 translate -90 rotate (I don't know too much about PS, it looks like showsheet is invoked after a page is processed; this might not be the best way to correct the problem). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.dvips -o test.ps FILE.dvi 2.mpage -2 -o test.ps > test.doubleps 3.print the file test.doubleps (lpr test.doubleps) Actual Results: each second printed page is blank (the others contain two pages per sheet, as desired) Expected Results: no blank pages should be printed Additional info:
