lpr -dThe precise command to print a DVI file depends on your system installation, but `lpr -d' is common. The command may require the DVI file name without any extension or with a `.dvi' extension. (If it is `lpr', you must include the `.dvi'.)
For example, the following commands, will (perhaps) suffice to sort the indices, format, and print the Bison Manual:
tex bison.texinfo texindex bison.?? tex bison.texinfo lpr -d bison.dvi
(Remember that the shell commands may be different at your site; but these are commonly used versions.)
Using the texi2dvi shell script, you simply need type:
texi2dvi bison.texinfo lpr -d bison.dvi
lpr is a standard program on Unix systems, but it is usually
absent on MS-DOS/MS-Windows. Some network packages come with a
program named lpr, but these are usually limited to sending files
to a print server over the network, and generally don't support the
`-d' option. If you are unfortunate enough to work on one of these
systems, you have several alternative ways of printing DVI files:
lpr program, or its clone.
If you can do that, you will be able to print DVI files just like
described above.
lpr which comes with your
network software will have a special option to send a file to specific
queues, like this:
lpr -Qdvi -hprint.server.domain bison.dvi
dvilj, for detailed description of these tools. Once
the DVI file is converted to the format your local printer understands
directly, just send it to the appropriate port, usually `PRN'.
