I have never used netterm but I found this:

Quote:

The NetTerm option to "print directly to printer" was put into NetTerm in
the days of Windows 3.1 when it was acceptable to bypass all of the Windows
printer drivers, and allow a host application to access the printer direct.
This option is still available, since many Windows 3.1 systems still exist.

However, on newer Windows operating systems, this option should not be used.
You should select the "send to windows printer" option to send normal text
files. This option will utilize the normal Windows printer driver for your
selected printer.

For those host applications that require direct access to the printer, use
the option "send to windows print queue". This does bypass the Windows
driver, and does require the host application to completely control the
printer. However it is the preferred way to bypass the Windows printer
drivers.

dvired

dvired(1)                                                              teTeX                                                             dvired(1)

NAME

       dvired - print dvi-files

SYNOPSIS

       dvired [ options ] file

DESCRIPTION

       dvired behaves like dvips, except for the fact that two logical pages are put onto each physical sheet of paper.

       For options, see dvips(1).  This program only interprets the following options:

       -o file - redirect output into file.

       -P printer - direct output to printer.

       -f - direct output to stdout.

       Any other option is passed directly to dvips.

EXAMPLES

       It is assumed that the PRINTER-variable is set.

       dvired -Plw foo - send output to printer lw.
       dvired -o foo.ps foo - send output to file foo.ps.
       dvired -pp4-7 foo - send 4 pages (reduced onto 2 sheets) of foo to the printer.
       dvired foo -f | ghostview - - preview output with ghostview.

SEE ALSO

       dvips(1)

BUGS

       dvired is fixed on A4 paper size. If you want to use it with other paper, you have to change the settings within the source.
