 +== Other tips ==
 +  * For printing A3 at kombajn, Ondřej Bojar suggests ''lp -d "kombajn" -o media=a3 -o fit-to-page file.pdf''
 +  * For printing posters (usually A0, but conferences differ in whether landscape or portrait), we suggest [[http://www.xcopy.cz/kontakt/|X-copy]] (go directly to the underground DTP studio) or [[https://www.copygeneral.cz/pobocky/radlicka-12|CopyGeneral]] (beware: it has moved from "Na Bělidle" to a new address "Radlická 12"). They are close to each other and easily reachable from Malá Strana.
