GPG-KEY2PS(1)	      User Contributed Perl Documentation	 GPG-KEY2PS(1)

NAME
       gpg-key2ps - generates a	PS file	from a GnuPG keyring

SYNOPSIS
       gpg-key2ps [-r revoked-style] [-p papersize] [-1] [-s] keyid-or-name [
       ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       gpg-key2ps generates a PostScript file with your	OpenPGP	key
       fingerprint (repeated as	often as it fits) useful for keysigning
       parties.	The only argument is the same as you would pass	to GPG's
       list-keys command, either a key-id or a (partial) name.	The PS data is
       written to stdout.

OPTIONS
       -p --paper-size paper-size
	   Select the output paper size. Default is to look into
	   /etc/papersize or A4	if libpaper isn't installed.

       -s --show-subkeys
	   Enable subkey information to	be printed on the slips. Subkey
	   information is normally not relevant	to the key signing process.

       -r --revoked-style revoked-style
	   Select how to mark revoked UIDs and subkeys.	Five styles are
	   available:
	    hide don't show at all (default),
	    show show normally,
	    grey display in 50%	grey,
	    note add "[revoked]", and
	    strike strike through.

       -1  Print only one column of paper slips	instead	of the default two.
	   Useful for keys with	long UIDs that otherwise won't fit.

       keyid
	   Keyids to print. Multiple can be separated by spaces.

       -h --help
	   Print usage and exit.

       -v --version
	   Print version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
       HOME
	   The default home directory.

       GNUPGBIN
	   The gpg binary.  Default: "gpg".

       GNUPGHOME
	   The default working directory for gpg.  Default: "$HOME/.gnupg".

SEE ALSO
       gpg(1)
	   GNU Privacy Guard.

       gpg-key2latex(1)
	   Like	gpg-key2ps, but	produces LaTeX output instead.

       https://www.debian.org/events/materials/business-cards/
	   gpg-key2ps prints plain fingerprint slips. If you are looking for
	   something more stylish, look	at these latex templates for business
	   cards that also include fingerprints.
