<h3 class="section">20.4 Shell Print Using <code>lpr -d</code></h3>
<p><a name="index-lpr-_0040r_007b_0028DVI-print-command_0029_007d-1127"></a>
The precise command to print a DVI file depends on your system
installation. Two common ones are ‘<samp><span class="samp">dvips foo.dvi -o</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">lpr
-d foo.dvi</span></samp>’.
<p>For example, the following commands will (perhaps) suffice to sort the
indices, format, and print the <cite>Bison Manual</cite>:
<pre class="example"> tex bison.texinfo
texindex bison.??
tex bison.texinfo
lpr -d bison.dvi
</pre>
<p class="noindent">(Remember that the shell commands may be different at your site; but
these are commonly used versions.)
<p>Using the <code>texi2dvi</code> shell script (see the previous section):
<pre class="example"> texi2dvi bison.texinfo
lpr -d bison.dvi
# or perhaps dvips bison.dvi -o
</pre>
<p><a name="index-Shell-printing_002c-on-MS_002dDOS_002fMS_002dWindows-1128"></a><a name="index-Printing-DVI-files_002c-on-MS_002dDOS_002fMS_002dWindows-1129"></a><a name="index-lpr_0040r_007b_002dd_002c-replacements-on-MS_002dDOS_002fMS_002dWindows_007d-1130"></a><code>lpr</code> 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 <code>lpr</code>, but these are usually limited to sending files
to a print server over the network, and generally don't support the
‘<samp><span class="samp">-d</span></samp>’ option. If you are unfortunate enough to work on one of these
systems, you have several alternative ways of printing DVI files:
<ul>
<li>Find and install a Unix-like <code>lpr</code> program, or its clone.
If you can do that, you will be able to print DVI files just like
described above.
<li>Send the DVI files to a network printer queue for DVI files.
Some network printers have special queues for printing DVI files. You
should be able to set up your network software to send files to that
queue. In some cases, the version of <code>lpr</code> which comes with your
network software will have a special option to send a file to specific
queues, like this:
<pre class="example"> lpr -Qdvi -hprint.server.domain bison.dvi
</pre>
<li>Convert the DVI file to a Postscript or PCL file and send it to your
local printer. See <a href="../dvips/Invoking-Dvips.html#Invoking-Dvips">Invoking Dvips</a>, and the man
pages for <code>dvilj</code>, 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 ‘<samp><span class="samp">PRN</span></samp>’.
</ul>
