[comp.text.tex] DVI converter for NEC P5300

SC262831@ysub.ysu.edu (02/21/91)

Can anyone using a NEC Pinwriter P5300 (or compatable) tell me which DVI program
to use to dump .dvi documents?  I have tried "dvieps", but it mixes garbage
text and graphics in with the document.  From this I am guessing that the
/etc/printcap entry for the printer needs to be changed to support graphics,
rather than text.  I tried several combinations of bit settings and clearings
in the printcap entry with no luck.  If "dvieps" will work with this printer,
could anyone tell me how to set up the printcap entry?  I also might be helped
by knowing the meaning of the bit settings for the following printcap options:
fs#,fc#,xc#, and xs#.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!


PS:  I am using an Encore Multimax with 4.2 BSD compatable Unix .
