I think so. I used to have a dot-matrix, and it could take up to 10
minute to print a page. If you only want to print draft, you may
consider using dvi2tty. This program translates the dvi file into
plain, neatly formatted, ascii.

I think ghostscript is the only "right" way to do it.  If emacs is fast
enough for you, ghostscript shouldn't be a problem.

Printing with an old tractor

[Johan Wilhelm Kluwer]

Hello,

I have a problem that should have a really simple answer that I
nevertheless have not been able to find. I have an old, powerweak computer
into which I have just been able to fit emacs and latex. This works fine,
but: How to print DVI files? The printer I dispose of is an old Citizen
dot-matrix, I suppose 180 DPI.

I could theoretically use ghostscript for printing, but I'm confident that
that would be *very slow indeed*.

Is there a slimmer way of getting DVI files onto a dot-matrix printer?


Best,

Johan W. Klüwer.

Printing with an old tractor

[Johan Wilhelm Kluwer]

Hello,

I have a problem that should have a really simple answer that I
nevertheless have not been able to find. I have an old, powerweak computer
into which I have just been able to fit emacs and latex. This works fine,
but: How to print DVI files? The printer I dispose of is an old Citizen
dot-matrix, I suppose 180 DPI.

I could theoretically use ghostscript for printing, but I'm confident that
that would be *very slow indeed*.

Is there a slimmer way of getting DVI files onto a dot-matrix printer?
