README
The dvi2xx family consists of the following programs: Dvilj2 converts TeX-output .dvi files into HP PCL (i.e. HP Printer Control Language) commands suitable for printing on a HP LaserJet+, HP LaserJet II and fully compatible printers. Dvilj2p converts TeX-output .dvi files into HP PCL commands suit- able for printing on a HP LaserJet IIp, HP LaserJet III or HP Laserjet 2000 and fully compatible printers. This version uses a newer PCL command set and provides landscape printing. Dviljp and dvilj are similar to dvilj2p and dvilj2 but they sup- port only 128 character fonts. They may be used for Laserjet clones which do not support 256 character fonts. Dvi3812 converts TeX-output .dvi files into PMP files, the native command language of the IBM 3812 page printer. binary versions are available for: - aix 3.1 rs6000 - hpux 7.0 risc - msdos - os/2 - ultrix 4.2 risc - SunOS 4.1 ================================================================= Configuration: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Compilation of the program: under Unix: Makefile in MS-DOS: cut out relevant part of dvi2xx.make under VMS: see README.vms config.h most important: FONTAREA: fontpath leading to font directories; can be overuled at runtiime by setting the environment variable TEXPXL or the command line option -a default: "/usr/local/lib/tex/pk300" (VMS default: "tex$pkdir:") MAKETEXPK: Name of the program which is called to generate a pk file in a missing magnification default: "MakeTeXPK" ----------------------------------------------------------------- execution under MS-DOS: CONFIG.SYS: files=20 buffers=30 ----------------------------------------------------------------- MakeTeXPK: DESTDIR: Name of the directory where the neewly generated fonts should be placed finally default: /usr/local/lib/tex/pk/pk300 MF: Name of the MetaFont program default: cmmf MFINPUTS: search path for metafont input files for MetaFont default: `pwd`:/usr/local/lib/mf/inputs TEMPDIR: directory for where the MetaFont compilation takes place, and where intermediate files are put in, and which is removed after the MakeTeXPK run. default: /usr/tmp/mtpk.$$ be sure that you install MakeTeXPK in a way that it is allowed to write to DESTDIR. ----------------------------------------------------------------- lj3-filter: location of perl (headerline) /usr/local/bin/perl location of the tmp file (variable $tmpfile) name of dvi-filter and its options (variable $dvifilter)
dvi2xx – A general-purpose DVI output for Hewlett-Packard printers
This is one of the many DVI processors that reflected the popularity of low-cost Hewlett-Packard printers; it could also create output for the IBM 3812 page printer. It has now been superseded by dviljk (there seems to be no update that covers the IBM printer).
