    <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>[filename]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
