Hello,
I am attempting to use TeX with an HP Laserjet II printer. We do most
of our TeXing on Apple LaserWriters but I have the HP in my office so
I'd prefer to use it.
The dvips driver we have for the Apples (version 5.47 from
labrea.stanford.edu) has the feature that it will automatically use
metafont to generate new pk files as needed to print a document. Is
there an HP filter out there that does the same thing? Barring that
can someone tell me how I can use the output of the beebe filter to
figure out what incantation to feed metafont?
While I'm asking here are two other improvements I'd like to find:
1. A dvi filter suitable for use as a filter for lpr -d on UNIX.
2. The beebe driver puts the pages in reverse order (last page
first). I'd *really* like a filter that puts the pages in
first-page-first order.
I'm interested in free and cheap commercial software (since this
printer is in my office and the ps printers work fine I can't justify
much money).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Frank
