10.1.5 Why Does it Print Junk?
------------------------------

     What I get on the printer is long and incomprehensible.  It does
     not seem to correspond to what I wanted to print.

   You are probably printing a PostScript file or equivalent.  Try to
print with '-Z': a2ps will try to do his best to find what is the
program that can help you (Note: Your Delegations).  In case of doubt,
don't hesitate to save into a file, and check the content with
'Ghostview', or equivalent:
     $ a2ps my_weird_file -Z -o mwf.ps
     $ gv mwf.ps

If your a2ps is correctly installed, you can use the 'display'
fake-printer:
     $ a2ps my_weird_file -Z -P display

   If it is incorrect, ask for help around you.
