[comp.text.tex] DVIDJ printing problems..

WALMSLEC@QUCDN.QueensU.CA (Chris Walmsley) (06/16/90)

I recently downloaded the DVIDJ (DeskJet / DeskJet Plus) and have experienced
some problems.   I have a 256k mem cartridge installed.

The problem is that after the first page has printed, subsequent pages no
longer use the correct fonts.  The font that is selected is the default
courier (if I have no other font cartridges installed) or HELV 12 pt (if
I have the HELV Q cartridge installed).

The result is rather garbled looking, I assume, because the DVI
driver maps TeX font characters differently that ASCII.  But the
paragraphs, and titles, etc. in the correct location.

The bottom line is, has anyone used the program yet?  And has
anyone had this problem?  Or does anyone have any suggestion?

I am able to use DVISELEC to break my DVI files into single pages,
and print pages one at a time with the DVIDJ program. The output
is very nice looking.  But this process is extremely time
consuming because the fonts are downloaded for each page.

I downloaded the program from pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu, and it was
written by James Krause.

Thanks

I have tried to get in touch with James Krause, (the documentation supplied
his e-mail address), but the postmaster at his site has indicated that
he has left with no forwarding address.  Anybody know his where-abouts?
James ..are you listening.?
