'printoptions' can be used to specify + paper size, duplex, etc. + +:[range]ha[rdcopy][!] >{filename} + As above, but write the resulting PostScript in file + {filename}. + Things like "%" are expanded |cmdline-special| + Careful: An existing file is silently overwritten. + {only available when compiled with the |+postscript| + feature} + On MS-Windows use the "print to file" feature of the + printer driver. + +Progress is displayed during printing as a page number and a percentage. To +abort printing use the interrupt key (CTRL-C or, on MS-systems, CTRL-Break). + +Printer output is controlled by the 'printfont' and 'printoptions' options. +'printheader' specifies the format of a page header. + +The printed file is always limited to the selected margins, irrespective of +the current window's 'wrap' or 'linebreak' settings. The "wrap" item in +'printoptions' can be used to switch wrapping off. +The current highlighting colors are used in the printout, with the following +considerations: +1) The normal background is always rendered as white (i.e. blank paper.) +2) White text or the default foreground is rendered as black, so that it shows + up! +3) If 'background' is "dark", then the colours are darkened to compensate for + the fact that otherwise they would be too bright to show up clearly on + white paper. + +============================================================================== +2. Print options *print-options* + +Here are the details for the options that change the way printing is done. +For generic info about setting options see |options.txt|. + + *pdev-option* +'printdevice' 'pdev' string (default empty) + global +This defines the name of the printer to be used when the |:hardcopy| command +is issued with a bang (!) to skip the printer selection dialog. On Win32, it +should be the printer name exactly as it appears in the standard printer +dialog. +If the option is empty, then vim will use the system default printer for +":hardcopy!" + + *penc-option* *E620* +'printencoding' 'penc' String (default empty, except for: + Windows, OS/2: cp1252, + Macintosh: mac-roman, + VMS: dec-mcs, + HPUX: hp-roman8, + EBCDIC: ebcdic-uk) + global +Sets the character encoding used when printing. This option tells VIM which +print character encoding file from the "print" directory in 'runtimepath' to +use. + +This option will accept any value from |encoding-names|. Any recognized names +are converted to VIM standard names - see 'encoding' for more details. Names +not recognized by VIM will just be converted to lower case and underscores +replaced with '-' signs. + +If 'printencoding' is empty or VIM cannot find the file then it will use +'encoding' (if VIM is compiled with |+multi_byte| and it is set an 8-bit +encoding) to find the print character encoding file. If VIM is unable to find +a character encoding file then it will use the "latin1" print character +encoding file. + +When 'encoding' is set to a multi-byte encoding, VIM will try to convert +characters to the printing encoding for printing (if 'printencoding' is empty +then the conversion will be to latin1). Conversion to a printing encoding +other than latin1 will require VIM to be compiled with the |+iconv| feature. +If no conversion is possible then printing will fail. Any characters that +cannot be converted will be replaced with upside down question marks. + +Four print character encoding files are provided to support default Mac, VMS, +HPUX, and EBCDIC character encodings and are used by default on these +platforms. Code page 1252 print character encoding is used by default on +Windows and OS/2 platforms. + + *pexpr-option* +'printexpr' 'pexpr' String (default: see below) + global +Expression that is evaluated to print the PostScript produced with +|:hardcopy|. +The file name to be printed is in |v:fname_in|. +The arguments to the ":hardcopy" command are in |v:cmdarg|. +The expression must take care of deleting the file after printing it. +When there is an error, the expression must return a non-zero number. +If there is no error, return zero or an empty string. +The default for non MS-Windows or VMS systems is to simply use "lpr" to print +the file: > + + system('lpr' . (&printdevice == '' ? '' : ' -P' . &printdevice) + . ' ' . v:fname_in) . delete(v:fname_in) + v:shell_error + +On MS-Dos, MS-Windows and OS/2 machines the default is to copy the file to the +currently specified printdevice: > + + system('copy' . ' ' . v:fname_in . (&printdevice == '' + ? ' LPT1:' : (' \"' . &printdevice . '\"'))) + . delete(v:fname_in) + +On VMS machines the default is to send the file to either the default or +currently specified printdevice: > + + system('print' . (&printdevice == '' ? '' : ' /queue=' . + &printdevice) . ' ' . v:fname_in) . delete(v:fname_in) + +If you change this option, using a function is an easy way to avoid having to +escape all the spaces. Example: > + + :set printexpr=PrintFile(v:fname_in) + :function PrintFile(fname) + : call system("ghostview " . a:fname) + : call delete(a:fname) + : return v:shell_error + :endfunc + +Be aware that some print programs return control before they have read the +file. If you delete the file too soon it will not be printed. These programs +usually offer an option to have them remove the file when printing is done. + *E365* +If evaluating the expression fails or it results in a non-zero number, you get +an error message. In that case Vim will delete the file. In the default +value for non-MS-Windows a trick is used: Adding "v:shell_error" will result +in a non-zero number when the system() call fails. + +This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for security +reasons. + + *pfn-option* *E613* +'printfont' 'pfn' string (default "courier") + global +This is the name of the font that will be used for the |:hardcopy| command's +output. It has the same format as the 'guifont' option, except that only one +font may be named, and the special "guifont=*" syntax is not available. + +In the Win32 GUI version this specifies a font name with its extra attributes, +as with the 'guifont' option. + +For other systems, only ":h11" is recognized, where "11" is the point size of +the font. When omitted, the point size is 10. + + *pheader-option* +'printheader' 'pheader' string (default "%<%f%h%m%=Page %N") + global +This defines the format of the header produced in |:hardcopy| output. The +option is defined in the same way as the 'statusline' option. If Vim has not +been compiled with the |+statusline| feature, this option has no effect and a +simple default header is used, which shows the page number. + + *pmbcs-option* +'printmbcharset' 'pmbcs' string (default "") + global +Sets the CJK character set to be used when generating CJK output from +|:hardcopy|.

PostScript Printing *postscript-printing* + *E455* *E456* *E457* *E624* +Provided you have enough disk space there should be no problems generating a +PostScript file. You need to have the runtime files correctly installed (if +you can find the help files, they probably are). + +There are currently a number of limitations with PostScript printing: + +- 'printfont' - The font name is ignored (the Courier family is always used - + it should be available on all PostScript printers) but the font size is + used. + +- 'printoptions' - The duplex setting is used when generating PostScript + output, but it is up to the printer to take notice of the setting. If the + printer does not support duplex printing then it should be silently ignored. + Some printers, however, don't print at all. + +- 8-bit support - While a number of 8-bit print character encodings are + supported it is possible that some characters will not print. Whether a + character will print depends on the font in the printer knowing the + character. Missing characters will be replaced with an upside down question + mark, or a space if that character is also not known by the font. It may be + possible to get all the characters in an encoding to print by installing a + new version of the Courier font family. + +- Multi-byte support - Currently VIM will try to convert multi-byte characters + to the 8-bit encoding specified by 'printencoding' (or latin1 if it is + empty). Any characters that are not successfully converted are shown as + unknown characters. Printing will fail if VIM cannot convert the multi-byte + to the 8-bit encoding. + +============================================================================== +4. Custom 8-bit Print Character Encodings *postscript-print-encoding* + *E618* *E619* +To use your own print character encoding when printing 8-bit character data +you need to define your own PostScript font encoding vector. Details on how +to to define a font encoding vector is beyond the scope of this help file, but +you can find details in the PostScript Language Reference Manual, 3rd Edition, +published by Addison-Wesley and available in PDF form at +http://www.adobe.com/. The following describes what you need to do for VIM to +locate and use your print character encoding. + +i. Decide on a unique name for your encoding vector, one that does not clash + with any of the recognized or standard encoding names that VIM uses (see + |encoding-names| for a list), and that no one else is likely to use. +ii. Copy $VIMRUNTIME/print/latin1.ps to the print subdirectory in your + 'runtimepath' and rename it with your unique name. +iii. Edit your renamed copy of latin1.ps, replacing all occurrences of latin1 + with your unique name (don't forget the line starting %%Title:), and + modify the array of glyph names to define your new encoding vector. The + array must have exactly 256 entries or you will not be able to print! +iv. Within VIM, set 'printencoding' to your unique encoding name and then + print your file. VIM will now use your custom print character encoding. + +VIM will report an error with the resource file if you change the order or +content of the first 3 lines, other than the name of the encoding on the line +starting %%Title: or the version number on the line starting %%Version:. + +[Technical explanation for those that know PostScript - VIM looks for a file +with the same name as the encoding it will use when printing. The file +defines a new PostScript Encoding resource called /VIM-name, where name is the +print character encoding VIM will use.] + +============================================================================== +5. PostScript CJK Printing *postscript-cjk-printing* + *E673* *E674* *E675* + +VIM supports printing of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files. Setting up VIM +to correctly print CJK files requires setting up a few more options. + +Each of these countries has many standard character sets and encodings which +require that both be specified when printing. In addition, CJK fonts normally +do not have the concept of italic glyphs and use different weight or stroke +style to achieve emphasis when printing. This in turn requires a different +approach to specifying fonts to use when printing. + +The encoding and character set are specified with the 'printencoding' and +'printmbcharset' options. If 'printencoding' is not specified then 'encoding' +is used as normal. If 'printencoding' is specified then characters will be +translated to this encoding for printing. You should ensure that the encoding +is compatible with the character set needed for the file contents or some +characters may not appear when printed. + +The fonts to use for CJK printing are specified with 'printmbfont'. This +option allows you to specify different fonts to use when printing characters +which are syntax highlighted with the font styles normal, italic, bold and +bold-italic. + +No CJK fonts are supplied with VIM. There are some free Korean, Japanese, and +Traditional Chinese fonts available at: + + http://examples.oreilly.com/cjkvinfo/adobe/samples/ + +You can find descriptions of the various fonts in the read me file at + + http://examples.oreilly.com/cjkvinfo/adobe/00README + +Please read your printer documentation on how to install new fonts. + +CJK fonts can be large containing several thousand glyphs, and it is not +uncommon to find that they only contain a subset of a national standard. It +is not unusual to find the fonts to not include characters for codes in the +ASCII code range. If you find half-width Roman characters are not appearing +in your printout then you should configure VIM to use the Courier font the +half-width ASCII characters with 'printmbfont'. If your font does not include +other characters then you will need to find another font that does. + +Another issue with ASCII characters, is that the various national character +sets specify a couple of different glyphs in the ASCII code range. If you +print ASCII text using the national character set you may see some unexpected +characters. If you want true ASCII code printing then you need to configure +VIM to output ASCII characters for the ASCII code range with 'printmbfont'. + +It is possible to define your own multi-byte character set although this +should not be attempted lightly. A discussion on the process if beyond the +scope of these help files. You can find details on CMap (character map) files +in the document 'Adobe CMap and CIDFont Files Specification, Version 1.0', +available from http://www.adobe.com as a PDF file. + +============================================================================== +6. PostScript Printing Troubleshooting *postscript-print-trouble* + *E621* +Usually the only sign of a problem when printing with PostScript is that your +printout does not appear. If you are lucky you may get a printed page that +tells you the PostScript operator that generated the error that prevented the +print job completing. + +There are a number of possible causes as to why the printing may have failed: + +- Wrong version of the prolog resource file. The prolog resource file + contains some PostScript that VIM needs to be able to print. Each version + of VIM needs one particular version. Make sure you have correctly installed + the runtime files, and don't have any old versions of a file called prolog + in the print directory in your 'runtimepath' directory. + +- Paper size. Some PostScript printers will abort printing a file if they do + not support the requested paper size. By default VIM uses A4 paper. Find + out what size paper your printer normally uses and set the appropriate paper + size with 'printoptions'. If you cannot find the name of the paper used, + measure a sheet and compare it with the table of supported paper sizes listed + for 'printoptions', using the paper that is closest in both width AND height. + Note: The dimensions of actual paper may vary slightly from the ones listed. + If there is no paper listed close enough, then you may want to try psresize + from PSUtils, discussed below. + +- Two-sided printing (duplex). Normally a PostScript printer that does not + support two-sided printing will ignore any request to do it. However, some + printers may abort the job altogether. Try printing with duplex turned off. + Note: Duplex prints can be achieved manually using PS utils - see below. + +- Collated printing. As with Duplex printing, most PostScript printers that + do not support collating printouts will ignore a request to do so. Some may + not. Try printing with collation turned off. + +- Syntax highlighting. Some print management code may prevent the generated + PostScript file from being printed on a black and white printer when syntax + highlighting is turned on, even if solid black is the only color used. Try + printing with syntax highlighting turned off. + +A safe printoptions setting to try is: > + + :set printoptions=paper:A4,duplex:off,collate:n,syntax:n + +Replace "A4" with the paper size that best matches your printer paper. + +============================================================================== +7. PostScript Utilities *postscript-print-util* + +7.1 Ghostscript + +Ghostscript is a PostScript and PDF interpreter that can be used to display +and print on non-PostScript printers PostScript and PDF files. It can also +generate PDF files from PostScript. + +Ghostscript will run on a wide variety of platforms. + +There are three available versions: + +- AFPL Ghostscript (formerly Aladdin Ghostscript) which is free for + non-commercial use. It can be obtained from: + + http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ + +- GNU Ghostscript which is available under the GNU General Public License. It + can be obtained from: + + ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/gnu/ + +- A commercial version for inclusion in commercial products. + +Additional information on Ghostscript can also be found at: + + http://www.ghostscript.com/ + +Support for a number of non PostScript printers is provided in the +distribution as standard, but if you cannot find support for your printer +check the Ghostscript site for other printers not included by default. + + +7.2 Ghostscript Previewers. + +The interface to Ghostscript is very primitive so a number of graphical front +ends have been created. These allow easier PostScript file selection, +previewing at different zoom levels, and printing. Check supplied +documentation for full details. + +X11 + +- Ghostview. Obtainable from: + + http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gv/ + +- gv. Derived from Ghostview.

Binary distributions are available for many platforms, as well as +the full source. PSUtils can be found at: + + http://knackered.org/angus/psutils + +The utilities of interest include: + +- psnup. Convert PS files for N-up printing. +- psselect. Select page range and order of printing. +- psresize. Change the page size. +- psbook. Reorder and lay out pages ready for making a book. + +The output of one program can be used as the input to the next, allowing for +complex print document creation. + + +N-UP PRINTING + +The psnup utility takes an existing PostScript file generated from VIM and +convert it to an n-up version. The simplest way to create a 2-up printout is +to first create a PostScript file with: > + + :hardcopy > test.ps + +Then on your command line execute: > + + psnup -n 2 test.ps final.ps + +Note: You may get warnings from some Ghostscript previewers for files produced +by psnup - these may safely be ignored. + +Finally print the file final.ps to your PostScript printer with your +platform's print command. (You will need to delete the two PostScript files +afterwards yourself.) 'printexpr' could be modified to perform this extra +step before printing. + + +ALTERNATE DUPLEX PRINTING + +It is possible to achieve a poor man's version of duplex printing using the PS +utility psselect. This utility has options -e and -o for printing just the +even or odd pages of a PS file respectively. + +First generate a PS file with the 'hardcopy' command, then generate a new +files with all the odd and even numbered pages with: > + + psselect -o test.ps odd.ps + psselect -e test.ps even.ps + +Next print odd.ps with your platform's normal print command. Then take the +print output, turn it over and place it back in the paper feeder. Now print +even.ps with your platform's print command. All the even pages should now +appear on the back of the odd pages. + +There a couple of points to bear in mind: + +1. Position of the first page. If the first page is on top of the printout + when printing the odd pages then you need to reverse the order that the odd + pages are printed. This can be done with the -r option to psselect. This + will ensure page 2 is printed on the back of page 1. + Note: it is better to reverse the odd numbered pages rather than the even + numbered in case there are an odd number of pages in the original PS file. + +2. Paper flipping. When turning over the paper with the odd pages printed on + them you may have to either flip them horizontally (along the long edge) or + vertically (along the short edge), as well as possibly rotating them 180 + degrees. All this depends on the printer - it will be more obvious for + desktop ink jets than for small office laser printers where the paper path + is hidden from view. + + +============================================================================== +8. Formfeed Characters *printing-formfeed* + +By default VIM does not do any special processing of |formfeed| control +characters. Setting the 'printoptions' formfeed item will make VIM recognize +formfeed characters and continue printing the current line at the beginning +of the first line on a new page. The use of formfeed characters provides +rudimentary print control but there are certain things to be aware of. + +VIM will always start printing a line (including a line number if enabled) +containing a formfeed character, even if it is the first character on the +line. This means if a line starting with a formfeed character is the first +line of a page then VIM will print a blank page. + +Since the line number is printed at the start of printing the line containing +the formfeed character, the remainder of the line printed on the new page +will not have a line number printed for it (in the same way as the wrapped +lines of a long line when wrap in 'printoptions' is enabled). + +If the formfeed character is the last character on a line, then printing will +continue on the second line of the new page, not the first. This is due to +VIM processing the end of the line after the formfeed character and moving +down a line to continue printing. + +Due to the points made above it is recommended that when formfeed character +processing is enabled, printing of line numbers is disabled, and that form +feed characters are not the last character on a line.

It may be - possible to get all the characters in an encoding to print by installing a - new version of the Courier font family. - -- Multi-byte support - Currently VIM will try to convert multi-byte characters - to the 8-bit encoding specified by 'printencoding' (or latin1 if it is - empty). Any characters that are not successfully converted are shown as - unknown characters.

Details on how -to to define a font encoding vector is beyond the scope of this help file, but -you can find details in the PostScript Language Reference Manual, 3rd Edition, -published by Addison-Wesley and available in PDF form at -http://www.adobe.com/. The following describes what you need to do for VIM to -locate and use your print character encoding. - -i. Decide on a unique name for your encoding vector, one that does not clash - with any of the recognized or standard encoding names that VIM uses (see - |encoding-names| for a list), and that no one else is likely to use. -ii. Copy $VIMRUNTIME/print/latin1.ps to the print subdirectory in your - 'runtimepath' and rename it with your unique name. -iii. Edit your renamed copy of latin1.ps, replacing all occurrences of latin1 - with your unique name (don't forget the line starting %%Title:), and - modify the array of glyph names to define your new encoding vector. The - array must have exactly 256 entries or you will not be able to print! -iv. Within VIM, set 'printencoding' to your unique encoding name and then - print your file. VIM will now use your custom print character encoding. - -VIM will report an error with the resource file if you change the order or -content of the first 3 lines, other than the name of the encoding on the line -starting %%Title: or the version number on the line starting %%Version:. - -[Technical explanation for those that know PostScript - VIM looks for a file -with the same name as the encoding it will use when printing. The file -defines a new PostScript Encoding resource called /VIM-name, where name is the -print character encoding VIM will use.] - - -3.3 PostScript Printing Troubleshooting *postscript-print-trouble* - *E621* -Usually the only sign of a problem when printing with PostScript is that your -printout does not appear. If you are lucky you may get a printed page that -tells you the PostScript operator that generated the error that prevented the -print job completing. - -There are a number of possible causes as to why the printing may have failed: - -- Wrong version of the prolog resource file. The prolog resource file - contains some PostScript that VIM needs to be able to print. Each version - of VIM needs one particular version. Make sure you have correctly installed - the runtime files, and don't have any old versions of a file called prolog - in the print directory in your 'runtimepath' directory. - -- Paper size. Some PostScript printers will abort printing a file if they do - not support the requested paper size. By default VIM uses A4 paper. Find - out what size paper your printer normally uses and set the appropriate paper - size with 'printoptions'. If you cannot find the name of the paper used, - measure a sheet and compare it with the table of supported paper sizes listed - for 'printoptions', using the paper that is closest in both width AND height. - Note: The dimensions of actual paper may vary slightly from the ones listed. - If there is no paper listed close enough, then you may want to try psresize - from PSUtils, discussed below. - -- Two-sided printing (duplex). Normally a PostScript printer that does not - support two-sided printing will ignore any request to do it. However, some - printers may abort the job altogether. Try printing with duplex turned off. - Note: Duplex prints can be achieved manually using PS utils - see below. - -- Collated printing. As with Duplex printing, most PostScript printers that - do not support collating printouts will ignore a request to do so. Some may - not. Try printing with collation turned off. - -- Syntax highlighting. Some print management code may prevent the generated - PostScript file from being printed on a black and white printer when syntax - highlighting is turned on, even if solid black is the only color used. Try - printing with syntax highlighting turned off. - -A safe printoptions setting to try is: > - - :set printoptions=paper:A4,duplex:off,collate:n,syntax:n - -Replace "A4" with the paper size that best matches your printer paper. - - -3.4 PostScript Utilities *postscript-print-util* - -3.4.1 Ghostscript - -Ghostscript is a PostScript and PDF interpreter that can be used to display -and print on non-PostScript printers PostScript and PDF files. It can also -generate PDF files from PostScript. - -Ghostscript will run on a wide variety of platforms. - -There are three available versions: - -- AFPL Ghostscript (formerly Aladdin Ghostscript) which is free for - non-commercial use. It can be obtained from: - - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ - -- GNU Ghostscript which is available under the GNU General Public License. It - can be obtained from: - - ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/gnu/ - -- A commercial version for inclusion in commercial products. - -Additional information on Ghostscript can also be found at: - - http://www.ghostscript.com/ - -Support for a number of non PostScript printers is provided in the -distribution as standard, but if you cannot find support for your printer -check the Ghostscript site for other printers not included by default. - - -3.4.2 Ghostscript Previewers. - -The interface to Ghostscript is very primitive so a number of graphical front -ends have been created. These allow easier PostScript file selection, -previewing at different zoom levels, and printing. Check supplied -documentation for full details. - -X11 - -- Ghostview.

Binary distributions are available for many platforms, as well as -the full source. PSUtils can be found at: - - http://knackered.org/angus/psutils - -The utilities of interest include: - -- psnup. Convert PS files for N-up printing. -- psselect. Select page range and order of printing. -- psresize. Change the page size. -- psbook. Reorder and lay out pages ready for making a book. - -The output of one program can be used as the input to the next, allowing for -complex print document creation. - - -N-UP PRINTING - -The psnup utility takes an existing PostScript file generated from VIM and -convert it to an n-up version. The simplest way to create a 2-up printout is -to first create a PostScript file with: > - - :hardcopy > test.ps - -Then on your command line execute: > - - psnup -n 2 test.ps final.ps - -Note: You may get warnings from some Ghostscript previewers for files produced -by psnup - these may safely be ignored. - -Finally print the file final.ps to your PostScript printer with your -platform's print command. (You will need to delete the two PostScript files -afterwards yourself.) 'printexpr' could be modified to perform this extra -step before printing. - - -ALTERNATE DUPLEX PRINTING - -It is possible to achieve a poor man's version of duplex printing using the PS -utility psselect. This utility has options -e and -o for printing just the -even or odd pages of a PS file respectively. - -First generate a PS file with the 'hardcopy' command, then generate a new -files with all the odd and even numbered pages with: > - - psselect -o test.ps odd.ps - psselect -e test.ps even.ps - -Next print odd.ps with your platform's normal print command. Then take the -print output, turn it over and place it back in the paper feeder. Now print -even.ps with your platform's print command. All the even pages should now -appear on the back of the odd pages. - -There a couple of points to bear in mind: - -1. Position of the first page. If the first page is on top of the printout - when printing the odd pages then you need to reverse the order that the odd - pages are printed. This can be done with the -r option to psselect. This - will ensure page 2 is printed on the back of page 1. - Note: it is better to reverse the odd numbered pages rather than the even - numbered in case there are an odd number of pages in the original PS file. - -2. Paper flipping. When turning over the paper with the odd pages printed on - them you may have to either flip them horizontally (along the long edge) or - vertically (along the short edge), as well as possibly rotating them 180 - degrees. All this depends on the printer - it will be more obvious for - desktop ink jets than for small office laser printers where the paper path - is hidden from view. - - -3.5 Formfeed Characters *printing-formfeed* - -By default VIM does not do any special processing of |formfeed| control -characters. Setting the 'printoptions' formfeed item will make VIM recognize -formfeed characters and continue printing the current line at the beginning -of the first line on a new page. The use of formfeed characters provides -rudimentary print control but there are certain things to be aware of. - -VIM will always start printing a line (including a line number if enabled) -containing a formfeed character, even if it is the first character on the -line. This means if a line starting with a formfeed character is the first -line of a page then VIM will print a blank page. - -Since the line number is printed at the start of printing the line containing -the formfeed character, the remainder of the line printed on the new page -will not have a line number printed for it (in the same way as the wrapped -lines of a long line when wrap in 'printoptions' is enabled). - -If the formfeed character is the last character on a line, then printing will -continue on the second line of the new page, not the first. This is due to -VIM processing the end of the line after the formfeed character and moving -down a line to continue printing. - -Due to the points made above it is recommended that when formfeed character -processing is enabled, printing of line numbers is disabled, and that form -feed characters are not the last character on a line. Even then you may need -to adjust the number of lines before a formfeed character to prevent -accidental blank pages. - -============================================================================== 4.
