[comp.text.tex] Printing troubles with LaTeX on Amiga PasTeX 12a

krooglik@ecr.mu.oz.au (06/09/91)

  I am having troubles printing out with LaTeX. Everything works
like a dream, and compiles with no errors. However, when I print
it out, I get the stuff coming off the right hand side of my
printer. Following is the file I LaTeX'ed :


\documentstyle[a4,titlepage]{article}
\begin{document}

\title{Chemical Engineering 1991}
\author{...}
\maketitle

\end{document}


Now, when I have a 24 pin DM, and when it prints out, it looks
something like this :

_____________________________________________________________________________
|									    |
|									    |
|									    |
|									    |
|								   CHEMICAL E
|									    |



 I am using the following to print: "dviprint -d 2 -o 1 -z 360 new.dvi".

 I am also using the a4.sty format, because we use A4 paper here in
Australia (210x297mm).

  Can anyone PLEASE help me!? This programme is driving me nuts!
Every time I try and do something, it does the opposite of what I want!

  Anticipating your replies... Thanks.

This is most probably due to a bug in the A4 style. I recommend to use the one
developed in the Netherlands, available from listserv@hearn.bitnet in 
TEX-NL FILELIST.
