[lug] Dummy Postscript Printer

[Arlan Ramsay]

This may be what you need: if myfile.dvi is the output from TeX,

dvips -o output.ps myfile

will produce a postscript file without shipping it directly to the
printer.  If you replace 'output.ps' by a longer pathname, you can
make the file land where you want it.

Good luck,
