Sometimes psnup and
other utilities from this package produce PostScript files that
don't conform to Adobe's DSC standard. CUPS may print them incorrectly. On the other
hand, CUPS has builtin
replacements for most commands from this package. For example, to
print a document 2-up, you can issue this command:
lp -o number-up=2 [filename]
