-
- DviHP is a program for printing DVI files (generated by TeX) on HP
- LaserJet and compatibiles printers.
-
-
- Features
- ========
-
- o DviHP downloads fonts to printer; printing is therefore much
- faster, especially when printing large documents. Version 2.1 uses
- PCL5 font compression.
-
- o User friendlyness: you can set parameters through environmental
- variable "DVIHPOPTS", in a command-line when invoking it from CLI
- or Shell, via ToolTypes when invoking it from Workbench or via
- graphical user interface.
-
- o It supports printing in landscape orientation.
-
- o DviHP allows you to include IFF ILBM files (raster pictures) and
- PostScript files in your documents.
-
- o DviHP lets you redirect output to a file, even when you're printing
- IFF ILBM pictures and/or PostScript files.
-
- o PCL5/PJL support and PCL5 font compression.
-
-
- Changes from version 2.0
- ========================
-
- o The FILE keyword can be omitted from now on.
-
- o New options XOFFSET and YOFFSET let you change initial printing
- position.
-
- o New graphical user interface.
-
- o Improved break (CTRL-C) handling; DviHP will now abort almost
- immediately - version 2.0 aborted after it has downloaded current
- font.
-
- o Downloaded fonts can be made permanent.
-
- o DviHP will show you which fonts have been downloaded previously.
-
- o Uses PJL (printer job language) if PCL5 switch is set.
-
- o DviHP is now capable of downloading real 600 dpi fonts. When PCL5
- switch is set, compressed fonts are sent to printer.
-
- o DviHP 2.1 introduces "download files". You can pre-download some
- fonts.
