/*
 * printtiff.c
 *
 *   Syntax:  printtiff filein [printer]
 *
 *   Prints a multipage tiff file to a printer.  If the tiff is
 *   at standard fax resolution, it expands the vertical size
 *   by a factor of two before encapsulating in ccittg4 encoded
 *   PostScript.  The PostScript file is left in /tmp, and
 *   erased (deleted, removed, unlinked) on the next invocation.
 *
 *   If the printer is not specified, this just writes the PostScript
 *   file into /tmp.
