    <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:
