Hi, I'm using the TeX 3.14 distribution from u.washington with the TeXPS package to print my documents. I've discovered a weird feature of dvitps when printing documents. When I use dvitps to convert a dvi file and attempt to print it, the page comes out ok but leaves the printer in a hung state such that no more print jobe will be accepted (it's a HP laserjet III - so the light just sits there flashing). However if I use the old dvi2ps distributed with TeX 3.0 it works just fine. Well, you may ask, why don't I just use the old version, well it doesn't handle psfig stuff correctly and I'm inserting quite a bit of PS into the TeX documentation. Has anybody run into this problem before, or have any suggestions? PS. Configuration is a DECstation 5000/25 printing remotely to a HP LJ III on a DS 5000/240 using DECnative lpr, and TeX 3.14 compiled using DECnative cc. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul A.
