# texfix(1)

fix (or escape) a bug of ROM in some printer.

## NAME

texfix - fix (or escape) a bug of ROM in some printer.

## SYNOPSIS

**texfix**\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **texfix** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original command hadn't manual page.\
 With some printer, dvi2ps could fail to run with an error message like:

papif: Starting job for kazama@square at Thu Mar 26 15:04:04 1992 on printer NTX-J\[M5-112B\]:LaserWriter@\*\
 Fatal system error @ 0X400f2fc0\
 papif: Finished job at Thu Mar 26 15:04:41 1992

This is because there is a bug of old ROM in some printer. To fix (or escape) this bug, texfix might be useful.

## EXAMPLES

dvi2ps foo.dvi \| texfix \| lpr
