Printing LaTeX Files
Whether you create your own LaTeX file, export one from the LyX LaTeX editor, or download one
from the Internet, several utilities are available to format, print, or display the output. Here are
some of your choices:
To format a LaTeX file (filename.tex), run the following command:
$ latex filename.tex
To print a DVI file (filename.dvi), send it to your default PostScript printer, and type
the following:
$ dvips filename.dvi

Running Applications Part IV
To display a DVI file in an X window, type the following:
$ xdvi filename.dvi
To print a DVI file to a PCL printer, such as an HP LaserJet, type the following:
$ dvicopy filename.dvi
$ dvilj filename.dvi
The dvilj command doesn??™t support virtual fonts directly. The dvicopy command converts
the fonts so that the PCL printer can handle them.
Converting Documents
Documents can come to you in many different formats. Search just some of the Linux FTP sites
on the Internet and you will find files in PostScript, DVI, man, PDF, HTML, and TeX.
