We have been having enormous problems with our laserwriter as a printer connected to unix systems. In particular, it is unable to reliably print postscript generated from dvi. Sometimes it succeeds, more often it gets partway through the document and wedges. It often successfully prints and then prints the following page(s) (following documents) with microscopic print size. If any of you can help, please do write me. I don't regularly read these newsgroups, so an email response would be best. I hope I have not posted this to any inappropriate newsgroups. If so, please accept my apologies. Robert Goldman

In particular it sometimes prints in microscopic mirror-image print when we use dvi2ps to convert the dvi to ps. Is this a known bug ? We do not seem to have this problem when we use dvips. Incidentally can dvips be made to function with the psfig package. ------------------------------------------------------------- Paul A.

Farrell farrell@cs.kent.edu >------------------------------------------------------------- At Georgia Tech, we're using dvips and psfig. I've tried to preview these files with ralpage, and had no success. Is this a known problem? Is there a good interface to a ps previewer? for multipage documents? something that would allow the user to skip to a particular page?
