Solved What is the difference between pkg enscript-letterdj and pkg enscript-letter?

[byrnejb]

I cannot seem to find an explanation for what differs between
print/enscript-letterdj and print/enscript-letter. The pkg description for both is identical.

I use print/enscript-letter but I am curious as to what is the difference between the two.

They all point to the same port. The difference is the paper size. Although I cannot seem to find what the (size) difference between 'letter' and 'letterdj' is. I know what the difference between 'A4' and 'letter' is, A4 is the standard size used in Europe.

.if (${PAPERSIZE} != a4 && ${PAPERSIZE} != letter && ${PAPERSIZE} != letterdj)
.BEGIN:
	@${ECHO} "Error: invalid value for PAPERSIZE: \"${PAPERSIZE}\""
	@${ECHO} "Possible values are:  a4, letter, or letterdj"
	@${FALSE}
.endif

Yes, I am aware of, and sometimes use, iso standard paper sizes. I am just curious as to what the dj stands for and how letterdj paper size differs from straight letter .

Thank you. I have long wondered about what the distinction was.

DeskJet, right. Here I was thinking it was some stupid standard just to mess with everyone
