Others have posted the solution to the TeX problem. It may be worth
pointing out the following which is in the README file that goes with
latex2e.texi:

   You can also run TeX on the file to generate a DVI file, which can
   be printed. However, you probably won't want to do that, as the
   formatting is not very well suited for printed output, and you're
   much better off with one of the standard LaTeX manuals.

If you want to learn about Texinfo, why not just read about it within
emacs info (C-h i)?
