Hi Morten,

I'm using this command in my printing workflow:

GNU groff version 1.21
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GNU groff comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
You may redistribute copies of groff and its subprograms
under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
For more information about these matters, see the file named COPYING.

called subprograms:

GNU grops (groff) version 1.21
GNU troff (groff) version 1.21

This is my workflow makefile:
---snip
template = text
default:
        echo $(template)
text:
        groff -Tps -k -K utf-8 -dpaper=a4l -P-pa4 -P-l -mm $(template).tr > 
$(template).ps
        ps2pdf14 $(template).ps
        mupdf $(template).pdf
print:
        lpr -Prp $(template).ps
---snap

Regards,

echo 'HUE\a'
