[Gllug] merging PS files // gimp batch printing ?

> for i in *.jpg; do convert -page A4 $i $i.ps; done

To achieve that, I could also just do

   for i in *.jpg; do djpeg $i | pnmtops -imagewidth 8.0 `basename $i `.ps; done

(netpbm is your friend).

The problem with that is just that I get individual PS files, which 
psmerge can't join into one.



Luckily - Tom's tip ( cat *.ps | ps2pdf - out.pdf ) works fine.  (It's a 
bit stupid to go via pdf - but hey, the result is there, and that's what I 
was looking for... ;-)
