[linux-help] Re: Linux Printing and "Typesetting"

[Benjamin Bunck <bbunck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To get started with Latex,  you need a good manual, and some sample *.tex 
files.  I use Latex quite often, and have gotten surpisingly far just by 
modifying other peoples files.  A pretty decent reference I found recently 
is:

"The not so Short Introduction to 
LaTeX2e"

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/lshort/

(just grab lshort.ps).

and view it with 
# gv lshort.ps
or something

I don't know about how well Deskjets work for ps files.  As far as Linux 
goes, any printer that has native Postscript support works quite nicely 
and is easy to set up.  I know many laserjets have Postscript support, but 
I don't think many inkjets do.
