To LaTeX a file, type "latex file[.tex]". This creates the DeVice Independant
file, extention .dvi.
But it's much better to just do it from Emacs, using auctex.

First LaTeX it, to create the .dvi. Then for a postscript printer:
dvips file
to print it directly to the printer, or
dvips file -o
to create the .ps file.

I'm not sure. Maybe it's called "debian-user@lists.debian.org". I
cannot say I've found (or searched) that file myself, though.
(I learned LaTeX from the other people in the group at work).

Ask me. Other than that, I don't know :(.
