In Unix, how do I print a Texinfo file?

Note: You cannot get quality printed output from Info files; you must still have the original Texinfo source file for the manual you want to print.

If you have TeX installed on your Unix computer, follow these steps to print a Texinfo file:

1. Make sure the first line of the Texinfo file looks like this: \input texinfo You may need to replace texinfo with the full pathname of the texinfo.tex file, which comes with Emacs as man/texinfo.tex (or copy or link it into the current directory).
   
   
2. Enter tex X.texinfo .
   
   
3. Enter texindex filename.ext , replacing filename.ext with the appropriate filename.

   Note: The texindex program comes with Emacs as man/texindex.c.

4. Enter tex filename.texinfo .
   
   
5. Print the DVI file filename.dvi as you would any other DVI file at your site. For more information, see In LaTeX or TeX in Unix, how do I create and print a document?

This information comes from the Emacs FAQ.
