Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.23-12 Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: dvis can't be printed automagically like that.
with some magic cups can be convinced to directly print dvi files.
i achieved this with:
* adding to mime.convs:
application/x-dvi application/postscript 33 dvips
* adding to mime.types
application/x-dvi dvi contains(0,2048,"TeX output")
creating a tiny shellscript in /usr/lib/cups/filters/dvips
#!/bin/bash
# See if we have a filename on the command-line...
if test -z "$6"; then
TMPFILE=`mktemp`
cat >$TMPFILE
ifile="$TMPFILE"
else
ifile="$6"
fi
# try to figure out the dpi's...
DPI=`cat $PPD |grep -i "resolution " |tail -n 1|sed -e
"s;\*Resolution.*dpi/;;" -e "s; DPI.*;;"`
ARGS="-D $DPI "
if test "$DPI" -gt "400"; then
ARGS="$ARGS -Z "
fi
