✨ NAME ✨

dvihp - convert a TeX DVI file to Hewlett-Packard PCL 🖨️

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dvihp [options] dvifile[.dvi]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so dvihp takes your dvifile and turns it into Hewlett-Packard PCL. It does this by going through dvicopy(1) first, then through $DVILJ (which is dvilj4 by default) ✨

no options? no problem. dvihp will pipe the PCL over to $SPOOL, which is lpr unless you say otherwise 🦋
