Short: Print DVI files on HP-LJ (PCL5 support)
Type: text/tex
Uploader: alesp@freeport.uwasa.fi
Author: alesp@freeport.uwasa.fi
DviHP is a program for printing DVI files (generated by TeX) on HP
LaserJet and compatibiles printers.
Features
========
o DviHP downloads fonts to printer; printing is therefore much
faster, especially when printing large documents. Version 2.1 uses
PCL5 font compression.
o User friendlyness: you can set parameters through environmental
variable "DVIHPOPTS", in a command-line when invoking it from CLI
or Shell, via ToolTypes when invoking it from Workbench or via
graphical user interface.
o It supports printing in landscape orientation.
o DviHP allows you to include IFF ILBM files (raster pictures) and
PostScript files in your documents.
o DviHP lets you redirect output to a file, even when you're printing
IFF ILBM pictures and/or PostScript files.
o PCL5/PJL support and PCL5 font compression.
Changes from version 2.0
========================
o The FILE keyword can be omitted from now on.
o New options XOFFSET and YOFFSET let you change initial printing
position.
o New graphical user interface.
o Improved break (CTRL-C) handling; DviHP will now abort almost
immediately - version 2.0 aborted after it has downloaded current
font.
o Downloaded fonts can be made permanent.
o DviHP will show you which fonts have been downloaded previously.
o Uses PJL (printer job language) if PCL5 switch is set.
o DviHP is now capable of downloading real 600 dpi fonts. When PCL5
switch is set, compressed fonts are sent to printer.
o DviHP 2.1 introduces "download files". You can pre-download some
fonts.
Requirements
============
o Any Amiga with OS 2.04 or higher
o A HP LaserJet compatibile printer
o post.library (© Adrian Aylward) for printing PostScript files
