printing from command line
This is a general linux question, not really a kernel question. Does anyone know if there is a "simple" good way to print code from linux at the command promt. On a Solaris machine, /usr/openwin/bin/mp -o -l filename
gives me a page with 2 columuns, user_name, date, and pagenumber at the top of each column, and the filename at the bottom of each column. I've read lots of howtos and man pages, even wrote a perl script to wrap the lines for me, but I haven't figured out how to get the same format from Linux as I do from Solaris.
Thanks!

I think you want pr although some formatting isn't automatic. man pr shows it takes more parameters than ls. Fortunately, you can make an alias.
