You might check to see if your university has OzTeX available
locally. At Berkeley, it sits in a server (it takes up almost
10 megs) in an AUFS volume which can be reached through an
Ethernet connection with the Chooser.

If you've used TeX on UNIX, by the way, OzTeX isn't completely
intuitive. Instead of opening your file from the File menu,
as one would expect from a Mac program, you open it from
the TeX menu. If you have a LaTeX file, in the same menu,
you have to set the program to LaTeX or it will complain
about bad TeX commands. Anyway, once you open the file
from the TeX menu, you can print it. Note that there is
an option to substitute Times Roman for the TeX font,
which may speed up printing.

I couldn't find a manual and had to figure the above out
by trial and error and one phone call for support.
