Re: dvips TeX printer driver

Brian, 

Thanks for your patience. I did not find info dvips particularly
clear, especially since it said basic operation was to print a
file. But in any case, I found /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps, and sure
enough, under debian, the o option is commented by default. I
un-commented it and the dvips command now prints. 

My plain text files print darker than my .ps files, and I did not see
anything in info dvips to suggest one could control that, probably
because this is an issue for the printer itself. But then I don't see
how there is the difference in weight.
