filename.dvi
to PostScript13 and send it to your
default printer, use the command:
dvips filename.dviIf you have no default printer14 or you want to send the printout to a specific printer use the command:
dvips -Pprintername filename.dvi
replacing printername with the name of the printer to which you want to send your document.
It is possible to obtain the intermediate PostScript file with the command
dvips -o filename.ps filename.dvi
or with dvips filename -o if you don't need to set the PostScript filename.
It is possible to select particular pages out of a document, if you
are making changes and want to see what they will look like on paper
(note that xdvi
gives a very accurate rendition, and should be
enough for most purposes). The command
dvips -pfirst -llast -Pprintername filename.dvi
will print from the page numbered ``first'' to the page numbered ``last''. To print without a header page, use
dvips -f filename.dvi | lpr -h
To get more information on dvips
, consult the manual page (typing
man dvips
at your athena prompt). Note that the older
dvi2ps program no longer exists on Athena.
