Help! Help! Help! I've recently downloaded the dvifilters from the University
of Utah (anonymous ftp to science.utah.edu, APS:<tex.dvi> directory), but I
just can't seem to get any of these filters going. I've glanced at the Makefile,
changed the font and macro paths, crossed my fingers and then tried to make a
filter for the HP laserjet Plus. Below is a script of what happened when I
tried to compile it on our SUN 3.
================================================================================
% make dvijep
cc -DFONTPATH="\"/usr2/lib/tex/fonts/tfm\"" -DSUBPATH="\"/usr2/lib/tex/macros/\"" dvijep.o -o dvijep -lm
Undefined:
.rem
__dtou
.ptr_call
.udiv
.mul
dvijep.o: relocation format botch (symbol type))
*** Error code 4
Stop.
================================================================================
I haven't got a whole lot of time to spend of this, so I'm taking the easy way
out and appealing to the net for Help! Help! Help! Can someone please explain
to me in nice easy simple terms whole to get a functional dvi driver out of
this.
By the way, herein may lie another problem. We have a HP Laserjet II in the
lab, not a HP Laserjet Plus which the filter was intended for. I'm assuming
here that the dvijep filter will work for the Laserjet II. If this is not the
case, will someone please tell me how to go about getting a Laserjet II filter?
P.S.: Here's another simpleminded question. Assuming I can get this dvijep
working, how do I use it? I.e. do I do something like this?
dvijep foobar.dvi | lpr
I'm assuming that the dvijep takes as input, a dvi file, and then outputs the
printer codes. Is that how it works? I think I remember reading that I should
install it as a filter, and make an entry in the printcap file. Details,
simple details please?
