Some simple functions which allow you to print office documents (Excel and Word documents) without having to open OOo
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Runs with bash/zsh/sh (tested with bash/zsh).
SELF=`basename $0`
# What we are determines what we do :)
if [ "$SELF" = "print_doc" ] ; then
FUNC=print_word
elif [ "$SELF" = "print_excel" ] ; then
FUNC=print_excel
fi
print_word() {
antiword -f -a a4 "$1" | a2ps -
}
print_excel() {
xlhtml "$1" | a2ps -1 -
}
# Fix for LANG settings which are not supported..
LANG_OLD=$LANG
unset LANG
for i in "$@" ; do
$FUNC "$i"
done
# And back to the old values
export LANG=$LANG_OLD
