I use a HP laserjet III, and the results are reasonable, but I advice you to
use Ghostscript for printing, Acrobat makes a mess of things. The fact is
that adobe products only seem to work reasonable on postscript printers,
which is understandable from their point of view.

You could also try to make black-and-stuff.

Since our company uses GhostScript on a Linux machine(as print-server),
client-side printing has improved significantly, all windows programs print
*a lot* faster when using postscript. Performance improvements are a factor
5 if not more.

Define your style like:

\startnotmode[paper]
  \setuppapersize [S6]
\stopnotmode

\startmode[paper]
  \setuppapersize [A4]
\stopmode

and run te file with 

  texexec somefile 

and 

  texexec --mode=paper somefile

If you add 

% modes=paper 

to your file, texexec will report them,

Print versus Screen

[David Arnold]

All, 

Having just printed Up-001-p.pdf and viewed Up-001-s.pdf on screen, I would
very much like to learn how to produce documents for both print and
onscreen, particularly with a minimum of duplicated effort. That is, can we
just change a few lines to go from one to the other?

Any examples of this we can practice on?

Also, when printing Up-001-p.pdf on my HPIIIP LaserJet printer, the colored
links, such as \goto, are dithered and display poorly on paper. Thoughts?
