dvips: config

 
 2.1 'config.ps' installation
 ============================
 
 Dvips has its own configuration files: a file 'config.ps' for sitewide
 defaults, and a file 'config.PRINTER' for each printer (output device).
 Since these are site-specific, 'make install' does not create them; you
 must create them yourself.
 
    (These Dvips configuration files are independent of the Kpathsea
 configuration file 'texmf.cnf' (See(kpathsea)Config files).
 
    Dvips configuration files contents and searching are described fully
 in SeeConfig files.  The simplest way to create a new configuration
 file is to copy and modify the file 'dvipsk/contrib/config.proto',
 seasoning with options to your taste from SeeConfig files.  Here is
 'config.proto' for your reading pleasure:
      % Prototype Dvips configuration file.  (Public domain.)
 
      % How to print, maybe with lp instead lpr, etc.
      o |lpr
 
      % Default resolution of this device, in dots per inch.
      D 600
 
      % Metafont mode.  (This is completely different from the -M command-line
      % option, which controls whether MakeTeXPK is invoked.)  Get
      % <ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf> for a list of mode names.  This mode
      % and the D number above must agree, or MakeTeXPK will get confused.
      M ljfour
 
      % Memory available. Download the three-line PostScript file:
      %   %! Hey, we're PostScript
      %   /Times-Roman findfont 30 scalefont setfont 144 432 moveto
      %   vmstatus exch sub 40 string cvs show pop showpage
      % to determine this number. (It will be the only thing printed.)
      m 3500000
 
      % Correct printer offset. You can use testpage.tex from the LaTeX
      % distribution to find these numbers. Print testpage.dvi more than once.
      O 0pt,0pt
 
      % Partially download Type 1 fonts by default.  Only reason not to do
      % this is if you encounter bugs.  (Please report them to
      % <tex-k@tug.org> if you do.)
      j
 
      % Also look for fonts at these resolutions.
      R 300 600
 
      % With a high resolution and a RISC cpu, better to compress the bitmaps.
      Z
 
      % Uncomment these if you have and want to use PostScript versions of the
      % fonts.

      % You will also want definitions for alternative paper sizes -- A4,
