dvips: Basic usage
3.1 Basic usage of Dvips
========================
To use Dvips at its simplest, simply type
dvips foo
where 'foo.dvi' is the output of TeX that you want to print. The
default output is to a corresponding file 'foo.ps'; Dvips may also have
been locally configured to output directly to a printer by default.
If you use fonts that have not been used on your system before, they
may be automatically generated; this process can take a few minutes, so
progress reports appear by default. The next time that document is
printed, these fonts will have been saved in the proper directories, so
printing will go much faster. (If Dvips tries to endlessly generate the
same fonts over and over again, it hasn't been installed properly.
⇒(kpathsea)Unable to generate fonts.)
Many options are available (see the next section). For a brief
summary of available options, run
dvips --help
