- Use dvips to convert the file to PostScript. Specify the appropriate
printer model. E.g.,
dvips -Pljfour text.dvi -o text.ps
The dvips manual or the file modes.mf should tell you what to use as
printer model.
- If your printer supports PS, send this file to the printer. If not,
use Ghostscript to convert the output:
gs -sDEVICE=laserjet -sOutputFile=- text.ps >/dev/lp0
(gs --help will give you a list of output devices.)
To run both commands in a filter:
dvips -Pljfour text.dvi | gs -sDEVICE=laserjet -sOutputFile=- text.ps
Personally, I use apsfilter. That program will automatically recognize
DVI files and treat them as outlined above. Automatic font generation
can be tricky though.
