+      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.
+      The <filename>printers.tst</filename> test will fail, as there is no

+      fail, as the tests report some inconsistencies between the generated
+      postscript and the reference sets.  This is caused by version number
+      differences between the postscript test files and those generated by
+      the tests &mdash; these do not affect the operation of the program
+      and can be ignored.

+      <command>autoconf</command>: This command is used to recreate the

+      an issue in the mktime test which causes the
+      <command>configure</command> script to hang for 60 seconds and then
+      report that there is no working mktime function.

+

+      they were installed by the BLFS instructions.
+    </para>
+

+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      <parameter>--with-medium=letter</parameter>: This switch changes the
+      default paper format to US letter. It can either be given here or set
+      in <filename>/etc/a2ps/a2ps-site.cfg</filename> after installation. The
+      default is A4, but there are several other options, in particular: A4dj
+      or letterdj are good settings for HP Deskjet and other printers that need
+      wider paper-handling margins. See <filename>/etc/a2ps/a2ps.cfg</filename>
+      after installation.
+    </para>
+
