-----Original Message----- From: Stefan Veith [SMTP:stefan.veith@mail.online-club.de] Sent: 29 August 1997 05:12 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: TeX: printing .dvi files -- [ From: Stefan Veith * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Hello, I have got one question: I want to write (and finally print) something with TeX - so I edited a text file and compiled it with LaTeX without any problems. But when I want to edit the .dvi file (either in xdvi or in ghostview) I always get error messages! I installed both programs via the ports collection (so there should not be any wrong settings) and if a .tex file is "compiled" to a .dvi file, there should not be any error either. Why would you want to edit the .dvi file? All editing is done on the .tex file and then compiled. What error messages do you get? What port did you install? If it is teTeX, you should run texconfig to set up all TeX and related programs like xdvi and others. One more general question about printing under FreeBSD: whenever I print something first of all I get a page printed with information about my computer- and user name. Is there any possiblity to turn this (mal-) function off? Is it a network printer? Is it connected to a printer server. What OS does the print server run? I'll be glad to help you if you are willing to be a little bit more specific It always helps to give a quick description about your system, OS version and the environment (network etc.) Pierre Stefan.
