[comp.sys.sgi] TeX, dvi2ps, and lp

tony@tacky.cs.olemiss.edu (Tony Reynolds) (03/22/91)

Okay, we got the TeX distribution, and finally I make a dvi file!

Now, dvi2ps writes to standard out, no problem there, so I send
output to a file.

Take the file, dump it to our postscript printer like this:
lp -dpostscript tony.ps

and the printer sits there with an 8k file in its buffer. (BTW, this
is the "story" from Computers and Typesetting, Vol. 1, chapter 6)

So, I examine the tony.ps file, and lo and behold, so other files
need to be included with it to make it go! lp cannot do this.

Whadda I do?

Hep me. Hep me, pa-leeeez.
