[clug] landscape tru64 to redhat printing problem

[Rousak, Boris]

Thanks, for that
The problem is though that postscript filter is used on tru64 right now. The
page is formatted correctly by the time it hits the linux box. In fact if it
goes directly to a printer instead of linux it come out fine, its only when
redhat enters the equation documents come out as portrait.
Cheers,
Boris

Boris,

just make sure that if landscape print is specified you use a postrcipt
filter on the TRU64 machine to make the page a landscape image in PS.

Then just print as normal.
