[comp.sys.next] NeXT printer and TeX

dgc@joshua.math.ucla.edu (02/09/90)

I am using (the supplied) TeX on a NeXT with an attached, local NeXT
printer.  I am unable to print in landscape mode or use manual feed when
printing TeX output.

I have tried the options listed in the manual page for  dvips  including
"-t landscape" and "-m", and find that the "-m" is ignored while the "-t
landscape" generates an error caption.

Does anyone know what the appropriate incantation is?  Should I put
spider webs and cinnamon in a 3 foot circle? :-)

Thanks for any help I get.

You should use 
\special{landscape}
in your TeX file to print it in landscape mode besides using dvips -t
landscape to get ps file.
I don't know how to use manual feed though.
