[comp.text.tex] dvi -> NEC P7 driver

kevine@vast.eecs.unsw.oz (Kevin Elphinstone) (09/01/90)

G'day, I am looking for a dvi to NEC P7 printer driver that supports the
360dpi mode on the printer. Could somebody indicate a ftp site that
carries it.

Reply via email is preferred.
Thanks in advance

Kevin.

It's been a while so I've updated my distribution.

In the file dvitools.tar.Z on ftp.win.tue.nl (anonymous ftp)
one can find 3 drivers, with a makefile for
SCO Xenix 286 and a makefile for most other unixes (32bit).
- dvi2ps: a rather old version, but it works on a 286.
- dvi2nec: driver for NEC P5,6,7,9 and compatible printers. uses pk fonts
           (360dpi). does not know about specials.
- preview: previewer for SCo Xenix 286 (EGA) and Unix sVr3.2 (EGA,
           VGA and VDC-600 with AT&T Unix).

The file does *not* include fonts. (but you can easily generate them
with metafont)

Enjoy!

Paul.

It depends on what you want, but in case you want it for an MS-DOS
environment. You could try: terminator.cc.umich.edu where the EmTeX stuff
is loaded.
Another place is eba.eb.ele.tue.nl (131.155.2.25) That's were I'm at.
	you want to look in /pub/tex/emtex.new/...
for all kinds of nifty stuff. Just out of my background memory: You'd want
either disk 2 or 3 for the printer-drivers. But an index can be found on
disk 1.
