# vprint(1)

print filter to break long lines

## NAME

vprint - print filter to break long lines

## SYNOPSIS

**vprint** \[ *dimensions* \] \[ *file* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**vprint** is a print filter that permits one to print a file with very long lines by continuing a long line onto another page.  It has been written specifically to print a spreadsheet.

Currently,  **vprint** provides built-in support for the HPdeskjet printers in Landscape mode. However, it may be used with any other printer by specifying the number of rows and colums.

## EXAMPLES

**vprint** was written for the  **slsc** spreadsheet, but can probably be used with other programs as well. For **slsc**, put something as

   set printer "\| vprint -deskjet \| lpr"

in the  *slsc.rc* file.  If you do not have a deskjet printer, use something like:

   set printer "\| vprint 50x80 \| lpr"

where the assumption has been made that the printer has 50 rows and 80 columns.
