- Hi,
-
- I'm using the TeX 3.14 distribution from u.washington with the TeXPS package
- to print my documents. I've discovered a weird feature of dvitps when
- printing documents.
-
- When I use dvitps to convert a dvi file and attempt to print it, the page
- comes out ok but leaves the printer in a hung state such that no more print
- jobe will be accepted (it's a HP laserjet III - so the light just sits there
- flashing). However if I use the old dvi2ps distributed with TeX 3.0 it works
- just fine.
-
- Well, you may ask, why don't I just use the old version, well it doesn't handle
- psfig stuff correctly and I'm inserting quite a bit of PS into the TeX
- documentation.
-
- Has anybody run into this problem before, or have any suggestions?
-
- PS. Configuration is a DECstation 5000/25 printing remotely to a HP LJ III on
- a DS 5000/240 using DECnative lpr, and TeX 3.14 compiled using DECnative cc.
