Several times, I have tried to print out .ps files from
public (ftp) sources (e.g., the apE documentation) on a
NeXtstation with a NeXT laserprinter using the 'lpr'
utility. The output is 90% ok but has numerous annoying
errors, e.g., the letters "fl" appear as an e with an
umlaut, and various italicized words appear inside the
fractions 1/4 and 1/2.

Clearly some error in translation is occurring. Does
anyone know how to fix this?

Another related question: the pages are printed in
numerical order by the laser printer, which is NOT what
I want. Instead, the printer should print output in
REVERSE numerical order so that the output is already
sorted correctly. Is there someway to indicate this
with lpr?
