If you don't want to print by default when invoking dvips, look into the file /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps Lines 14--16 read as follows (on sid): % How to print, maybe with lp instead lpr, etc. If commented-out, output % will go into a file by default. % o |lpr Just uncomment the "% o | lpr" line by removing the % sign, and dvips will produce a ps file and send it to lpr as well. joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance!
