If you want to save your file as in PostScript® or PDF format, it is not recommended that you use the printing function and redirect the printer output to a file. Instead, you can use the export functions which produce better-quality output that retains many of the special features of the dvi format and looks better in many of the viewing applications, such as Adobe's Acrobat Reader. You will find the export functions in the menu.
As in printing, the external program dvips is used to generate the PostScript® file. If the DVI file contains hyperlinks, these will also be included in the PostScript® file. If you are an expert, and if you would like to generate output which is optimized for a specific printer, you should probably start dvips manually and choose the proper MetaFont mode yourself.
