<para>
Sometimes <command>psnup</command> and other utilities from this
package produce PostScript files that don't conform to Adobe's DSC
standard. <application>CUPS</application> may print them incorrectly.
On the other hand, <application>CUPS</application> has builtin
replacements for most commands from this package. For example, to print
a document 2-up, you can issue this command:
</para>
<screen><userinput>lp -o number-up=2 <replaceable>&lt;filename&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>
