<h3 class="section">19.4 Print with <code>lpr</code> from Shell</h3>
<a name="index-lpr-_0028DVI-print-command_0029"></a>
<p>The way to print a DVI file depends on your system installation. Two
common ones are ‘<samp>dvips foo.dvi -o</samp>’ to make a PostScript file
first and then print that, and ‘<samp>lpr -d foo.dvi</samp>’ to print a DVI
file directly.
</p>
<p>For example, the following commands will (probably) suffice to sort
the indices, format, and print this manual using the <code>texi2dvi</code>
shell script (see <a href="Format-with-texi2dvi.html#Format-with-texi2dvi">Format with <code>texi2dvi</code></a>).
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">texi2dvi texinfo.texi
dvips texinfo.dvi -o
lpr texinfo.ps
</pre></div>
<p>Depending on the <code>lpr</code> setup on your machine, you might able to
combine the last two steps into <code>lpr -d texinfo.dvi</code>.
</p>
<a name="index-PCL-file_002c-for-printing"></a>
<p>You can also generate a PDF file by running <code>texi2pdf</code> instead of
<code>texi2dvi</code>; a PDF is often directly printable. Or you can
generate a PCL file by using <code>dvilj</code> instead of <code>dvips</code>, if
you have a printer that prefers that format.
</p>
<a name="index-Shell-printing_002c-on-MS_002dDOS_002fMS_002dWindows"></a>
<a name="index-Printing-DVI-files_002c-on-MS_002dDOS_002fMS_002dWindows"></a>
<a name="index-lpr_002dd_002c-replacements-on-MS_002dDOS_002fMS_002dWindows"></a>
<p><code>lpr</code> is a standard program on Unix systems, but it is usually
absent on MS-DOS/MS-Windows. If so, just create a PostScript or PDF
or PCL file, whatever is most convenient, and print that in the usual
way for your machine (e.g., by sending to the appropriate port,
usually ‘<samp>PRN</samp>’).
