I tried to print out emacs manuals by TeX and failed in last step:
lpr -d emacs.dvi. Because I don't know how to customize the shell script
in /usr/lib/NextPrinter/comm file. It is difficult for a novice like me
to install this file.
Please send me a sample .../comm file.
Thanks in advance !
Golden Yang.

If o !lpr is in /usr/lib/tex/ps/config.ps, the right thing seems to happen. -=EPS=-

The ".dvi" in "emacs.dvi" stands for device independant(sp?) (or something close to that. What this means is that it is not intended to be printed without first turning it into a format which your printing device can handle. In this case I strongly suspect that you must first turn this into a Postscript file before dumpong it to your printer. I believe the documentation describes how to accomplish these two feats.
