I tried to use Beebe's dvijep and dvijet to process dvi files for a laserjet series II, without success. The dvijep output results in garbage output, while dvijet output results in strange output due to its using fonts of the wrong size. I was able to keep dvijet from complaining about missing fonts by using dvijet -m1500 file, but then I generated a huge file. Any driver suggestions for this printer? Thanks! -- Dominick Samperi -- Citicorp samperi@Citicorp.COM uunet!ccorp!samperi

I've had no success with the dvijet / Laserjet II combo. I did get dvijep to work well, and was quite a ways toward finishing dvilj2, which relaxed many of the constraints not imposed by the Laserjet II. About 60% through, Beebe released a new set of drivers, which were quite different from the base I was working on. Not knowing whether to trudge on or switch to the new release, I quit. The driver works well for me, though. This was on a BSD4.2-wanna-be (Apollo running Aegis). -- Jim Wright jwright@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu

Hi, I have a version of dvi2hp avaiable for anonymous ftp. It generates decent output. The address is 129.137.32.106. Rob M E-MAIL montjoy@uc.edu

It is blazingly fast, creates relatively small *.jep files, and has many command line switches which make it very flexible. You will have to be more specific than just saying "garbage output", but I suspect that either a) you are not using the right fonts, or b) you are not copying the file to the printer properly (i.e. copy/b %1.jep lpt1:). Hope this is of use to you. Keep trying. If you have any specific questions regarding my configuration, please e-mail me.
