Re: Printing LaTeX

Hi, I convert my .dvi files to Postscript (dvips) and print them under Windows with GSview (which itself uses Ghostscript for rendering). GSview supports many printers via the Ghostscript drivers (which are the same as those of the Linux Ghostscript), but also has a printer driver called ms*2 (I

Re: Printing LaTeX

Look-up GSView. It's ghostscript/ghostview for windows. Not sure if it has a driver for that printer though. -- ++ | Eric G. Milleregm2@jps.net | | GnuPG public key: http://www.jps.net/egm2/egm2.gpg | +-
