- I recently ran into a problem trying to run DVIPrint. I was
- wondering if some of the GURUs here could help me out.
-
- I can't seem to get DVIPrint to work correctly. The strange part
- about my problem, is that I have been using tex for over a year with no
- problems, showdvi, and dvi2hp work perfectly. So I think I have all my
- fonts and other files are in the right place. In the past I have been
- using a program called dvi2hp which converts the .dvi file to hpcl (hewlet
- packard control language), but it doesn't support this Special Host
- program to allow bitmapped graphics. When I switched over to DVIPrint, v
- 1.19(Beta) program, it just doesn't work. I've read all the doc and I
- can't figure out what the problem is. DVIprint doesn't complain at all.
- It just tells me it's opening cmr12 at 300 and then prints out a page.
- The page doesn't look right though. If you look at it closely you can see
- some of the parts of the characters are right, but most are random lines
- and splotches. Do these two programs use different pk files or something?
- I must be making a simple mistake, because I imagine the majority of
- people using dviprint are using a hp compatible.
-
- The command line I use is:
-
- dviprint printer laserjet filename.dvi
-
- One note: When I use dvi2hp it produces another file called
- filename.hp. To get my printer to print out the doc, I have to copy the
- file to my PAR: device rather than my PRT: device. Could this have
- something to do with it? It seems PRT: mangles my file.
-
- Any help help would be appreciated. Please send responses
- directly.
- Thanks,
-
