Chapter 3. Printing DVI Files

KDVI can print your DVI files using the standard KDE printing interface. Internally, KDVI uses the program dvips to generate PostScript®, which is then passed on to the printer. In particular, dvips must be installed if you want to print with KDVI. The program dvips uses its own configuration files and its own settings, which are fine for most purposes. However, if you care for optimal printing results, you should configure dvips manually and make sure to set a default MetaFont mode which fits your printer best — on many systems you'll find a GNU-texinfo documentation of dvips, and you might also want to look for a file called dvips.dvi or similar.
