What were you trying to do?
I had just finished formatting my LATEX document and used the
dvi2ps -r filename | lpr -Pprinter_name command.
What's wrong:
The output was a few hundred pages of garbage. I tried to stop
the output, but it wouldn't let me.
What should have happened:
I should have received a 58 page document in LATEX format.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The printer in question is -Ppython. I tried printing again at
-Pw20-east-4, and received a good hardcopy of my file. If it is
possible, I would like to be recredited for the few hundred pages of
garbage(I think the total cost of that output was near $25).
