My apologies if this is something obvious, but the man / info page for dvips on my system doesn't have a -G option, and -P is used for the printer you are selecting. Does a newer version of dvips have some sort of default pdf / www ``printer''? Some version info (Debian unstable system): $ dvips --version dvips(k) 5.86e kpathsea version 3.3.7 $ dpkg --list tetex-bin ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-=========== ii tetex-bin 1.0.7+20011202 teTeX binary files Thanks. I'm always looking for yet another way to produce PDF from TeX / LaTeX, since the results of such a conversion are so varied. Chris -- Christopher S.
