I would like to print drafts of TeX documents 2-up and sometimes 4-up. Although I have the DMM LW Driver installed, which allows N-up printing from most applications, OzTex completely bypasses the usual Print dialog. Also, if I use OzTeX to create a Postscript file, the Postscript appears to be sufficiently non-standard that again I can't modify it to print N-up (even on a Unix machine). But here's what does work: move the DVI file to a Unix machine, use "dvips" to create a Postscript file there, run that file through "psnup" to make an N-up version, and ship the new Postscript file back to the Mac, and then send the result to the printer with Apple's LaserWriter Font Utility. Other than this glitch, OzTeX is fine. But there must be a better way! What would be ideal is another application that could take DVI files and give me access to the ordinary Print dialog so that DMM could do the N-up conversion. Any ideas?? Thanks for any help.
