Well, looking into texconfig, it turned out that A4 was the default paper
type. I changed this and some of the top/bottom margin issues disappeared,
but I still had the problem with the "11 11 TEX LATEX" shoving everything
down.

You're correct. After much testing, I've determined that the problem lies
in the tetex v0.9-17 RPMs included with RedHat 6.0.

When I backlevel these packages to those shipped with RedHat 5.2 (0.9-6)
everything prints normally (ie. sans the "11 11 TEX LATEX").

  This seems a problem with the printer configuration..

  Could you send me a simple file where this happens? I would like to
see both the linuxdoc file and the resulting latex file.

 Which printer do you have? Have you used the printtool utility to
configure the printer?

 Without further informations I would think that was nothing to do
with lyx or sgmltools.

  Which Red Hat version do you have?

Errant "11 11 TEX LATEX" in printouts

1999-05-27 Thread David Nedrow

First, let me state that I've just started down the SGML, TEX/LATEX road,
so I may be doing something wrong. 

I was using LyX 1.0.3pre4 to generate some documents using the LinuxDoc
format. When I printed my documents, I saw that there was always a line at
the top of the first page the said "11 11 TEX LATEX". This would push the
text of the first page down on the sheet, making the last line of the
first page ride the bottom.

Hmmm.

Thinking it might be a problem with LyX, I tried printing some of the SGML
howto's that ship with RedHat.

Here's how I did it:

1) Ran the SGML file through sgml2latex (sgml-tools 1.0.9) 

2) Ran the resulting DVI file through dvips (v5.85 with no options)
sending the output directly to lpr

No matter which document I prcoessed, they all had the "11 11 TEX LATEX"
header.

Am I doing something wrong (steps, config, etc.) or do I need to look at
the tools themselves?
