==========================================
When (La)TeX output is 'upside down' when printing it with mpage the
following might help (from Ted Stern <stern@amath.washington.edu>).
I found that part of the problem was that my latex
document was being rotated by -90 degrees by dvips when the postscript was
produced in landscape form. By putting the starred line in at the top of
my document (some slides, for example):
\documentclass[landscape]{slides}
%% ...
\begin{document}
\special{! /landplus90 true store}% * * * line to include * * *
%% line above has to be on the first page!
%%
%% ...
\end{document}
and processing the document with
dvips -t landscape filename.dvi -o filename.ps
, dvips will instead rotate the page by +90 degrees. The result is that I
get a postscript file that can be printed out using your current landscape
handling option with no other modifications required.
This information is buried in the dvips manual somewhere, but is not easy
to find!
Using mpage with magicfilter
============================

I'm using mpage with lprng and magicfilter. My local magic filter setup
is /usr/sbin/ljet4l-filter, and this line passes all ASCII files to mpage :
default pipe /usr/bin/mpage -A -2
I don't want to waste paper with ASCII texts. MPage also works for
postscript files.
