If you're like me, you occasionally have to actually -print- those text files that you work your magic on with TextPad. I wanted to print multiple pages per page (I believe it's referred to as "n-up" printing), but finding something actually useful - at a bargain, of course - was tough.

I stumbled over a fantastic utility called PrintFile by Peter Lerup that does exactly what I wanted. Bonus: it's free (the author would like a postcard if you enjoy his work). Additional bonus: it does PostScript files too. This guy's good. Send the card.

Check it out at

Tip: unless your eyes are [really] good, you may want to stick to just 2 pages per page landscape.

Anyway, a tool button with the command line parameters that are accepted by PrintFile proved to do the trick. You may want to set the button up for the "current document" (aka: $Clip) but that's up to you.

Cheers,

PS Now if I can just figure out how to edit my macros...

Macros can't be edited

$Clip is not the current document, it is the selection within the current document.

$file is the current document

Here's another vote for editable macros.
