Re: gEDA-user: Printing PCB layouts.
Please keep us posted about this. I have tried to script some .ps changes with
imagemagick, and run into trouble with resolutions too coarse and file sizes
getting large. The existing scripts to drive ghostscript, imagemagick, etc.
don't ever seem to try to maximize printed size on a page -- they leave large
borders. There is one already to do this, but it turns out a little off.
So I used scribus for the times I wanted that. It would be great to have a
script to get portions of a .ps page defined to go to different than original
pages, like letter or A4 instead of B size.

What I'd really like to do is split each title-block into two

Perl programs ps2eps and epssplit. The first seems to work find; the
second never divides the ps file in the right place.
Dividing postscript in the place where location on the page is may not be
possible. To print half a rectangle at a time, I think you will want to just
define the desired area to use to make output without chopping out the code that
makes the other half.

Happily using a B size printer for gschem output...
I may end up
tweaking the program myself - only problem is, I'll have to learn Perl
to do it!
