Re: Printing LaTeX
Hi,
I convert my .dvi files to Postscript (dvips) and print them under
Windows with GSview (which itself uses Ghostscript for
rendering). GSview supports many printers via the Ghostscript drivers
(which are the same as those of the Linux Ghostscript), but also has a
printer driver called ms*2 (I don't recall the exact name) that uses
the Windows printing system and can therefore print on anything
Windows supports. I use that for printing to my GDI printer.
URL for GSview/Windows Ghostscript:

You could also use a Windows TeX distribution such as miktex, they
have their own DVI previewers that can also print through windows (but
this takes much more disk space).
Finally, you could use pdftex/pdflatex, which compiles .tex files
directly into .pdf and use Acrobat Reader on the windows side. This
one takes a bit of configuration work on the Linux side, because you
really want to use native Type1 font instead of Metafont .pk fonts
(tetex includes Type1 versions of the Computer Modern fonts).
I would take the GSview route, though.
Hope this helps,
Matthias
