dvips output error revisited...

[Rolf S. Arvidson]

If the printer is postscript, edit the config.ps file to reflect the
printer's path
o \\pcname\printername

If the printer is not a postscript printer but is the default local windows
printer, then pipe through gs:
o |c:\gstools\gs5.50\gswin32c -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=mswinpr2 -

In the case of networked non-postscript printers, one should be able to
point gs to it by substituting "-sOutputFile= " for -sDEVICE=..."
All these have worked for me (running NT sp5).
Hope this helps.
