DVIPS(1) TeXware (13 February 1992) DVIPS(1) NAME dvips - convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript SYNOPSIS dvips [ options ] file[.dvi] DESCRIPTION The program dvips converts a DVI file file[.dvi] produced by TeX (or by some other processor like GFtoDVI) and converts it to PostScript, normally sending the result directly to the laserprinter. The DVI file may be specified without the .dvi extension. Fonts used may either be resident in the printer or defined as bitmaps in PK files, or a `virtual' combination of both. If the MakeTeXPK program is installed, dvips will automatically invoke METAFONT to generate fonts that don't already exist. For more information, see the manual dvips.tex is in the TEXINPUTS directory. The manual can be printed with the following commands: tex dvips dvips dvips -o dvips.ps lpr dvips.ps OPTIONS A summary of command line options can be obtained by running dvips without a filename. For more details refer to dvips.tex. SEE ALSO mf(1), afm2tfm(1), tex(1), latex(1), lpr(1) NOTES PostScript is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.
