Hi, Alexander,

i am sure my answer was the right answer, because the initial question
was:

  $ I am trying to print some html source code.  I just want a hardcopy of the 
  $ source itself.  When I do
  $
  $ a2ps z.html
  $
  $I get:
  $
  $  sh: psnup: not found
  $cat: /tmp/a2_AAA8Ia4Xd: No such file or directory
  $netscape: not running on display :0.0
  $netscape: not running on display :0.0
  $[z.html (html, delegated to Netscape): failed.  Ignored]
  $[No output produced]
  $
  $(which prints nothing, of course)
  $
  $If I change the filename to just "z" and do
  $
  $a2ps z
  $
  $I get:
  $
  $[z (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet]
  $request id is ssb-317-8k-6 (1 file)
  $[Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the default printer
  $
  $(which actually prints the file).
  $
  $How can I print html source without removing the .html filename extension?
