Partial success. I can save in pdf file and print it using cups it works but I can not set the right letter size in dvips. I've tired the commands: texconfig dvips paper letter texconfig xdvi us It doesn't work. Printer is still asking for A4 paper size. -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
