The dvi2xx family consists of the following programs:
Dvilj2 converts TeX-output .dvi files into HP PCL (i.e. HP
Printer Control Language) commands suitable for printing on a HP
LaserJet+, HP LaserJet II and fully compatible printers.
Dvilj2p converts TeX-output .dvi files into HP PCL commands suit-
able for printing on a HP LaserJet IIp, HP LaserJet III or HP
Laserjet 2000 and fully compatible printers. This version uses a
newer PCL command set and provides landscape printing.
Dviljp and dvilj are similar to dvilj2p and dvilj2 but they sup-
port only 128 character fonts. They may be used for Laserjet
clones which do not support 256 character fonts.
Dvi3812 converts TeX-output .dvi files into PMP files, the native
command language of the IBM 3812 page printer.
binary versions are available for:
- aix 3.1 rs6000
- hpux 7.0 risc
- msdos
- os/2
- ultrix 4.2 risc
- SunOS 4.1
