How to print a dvi file single sided

dvips defaults to double sided (duplex) printing. Below is an example of how to print a file called test.dvi single sided. There are two ways.

• Use the kprinter program

          dvips test.dvi -o '|kprinter'
  
  

  Once the kprinter box appears, select properties in order to set the options you need. Kprinter offers a drop down menu to select the name of the printer.

• Use the command line option for one sided

          dvips test.dvi -o '|lpr -o sides=one-sided'
  

  To specify a printer name eg galaxy use -P

          dvips test.dvi -o '|lpr -Pgalaxy -o sides=one-sided'
