... no, I don't think I changed much or anything I knew of at the
ghostscript settings for these printouts ...

.. no ..
I think I glanced over it when running (more running than anything
else .. I was really hurrying ... :) through Google ...

[15 minutes later:]

 .. cool ... seems to be a real nice tool, and much more flexible than
GhostView:
mpage -1 -j 1%2 -P -z "lpr -h" mozilla.ps
or, for the even pages, without a frame:
mpage -o -1 -j 2%2 -P -z "lpr -h" mozilla.ps

... like it :)

And Gentlefolks: please don't do this (i.e. the commands some lines
above) at home: I've just learned it some minutes ago ... :)

Thanks for the hint, jb

Best Regards
Wolfgang
