2.2 How to print

To print a file `doc.txt', just give it to a2ps: the default setting should be the one you'd like:
 
gargantua ~ $ a2ps doc.txt
[doc.txt (plain): 9 pages on 5 sheets]
[Total: 9 pages on 5 sheets] sent to the default printer

a2ps sent the file `doc.txt' to the default printer, writing two columns of text on a single face of the sheet. Indeed, by default a2ps uses the option `-2', standing for two virtual pages.
