I've got the Transript software installed on my Suns here, and
/etc/printcap has /usr/tran/[arch]/lib/psdf defined as the filter
for the -d option to lpd.  However, attempts to print dvi files 
with lpr -d filename.dvi generate "psdf: filter not available."
messages.  This message is built in to the psdf script, as a matter
of fact:

root@forest# tail psdf
case $prog in
        psif) exec $comm ;;
        psof) exec psbanner $pname ; exit 0 ;;
        psnf) psdit | $comm ;;
        pstf) pscat | $comm ;;
        psgf) psplot | $comm ;;
        psvf) pssun -2 -l .45 2.5 | $comm;;
 ---->  pscf|psdf|psrf) echo "$prog: filter not available." 1>&2  ;
                        psbad $prog $pname $user $host | $comm ;;
esac

It seems that Transcript doesn't actually support printing
dvi files :-(.  Does anybody have a working version of psdf, or
other filter I can use for dvi files?  TIA.
