 Printing Out Nodes
 ******************
 
    In general, we recommend that you use TeX to format the document and
 print sections of it, by running `tex' on the Texinfo source file.
 However, you may wish to print out the contents of a node as a quick
 reference document for later use, or if you don't have TeX installed.
 Info provides you with a command for doing this.
 
 `M-x print-node'
      Pipe the contents of the current node through the command in the
      environment variable `INFO_PRINT_COMMAND'.  If the variable does
      not exist, the node is simply piped to `lpr' (on DOS/Windows, the
      default is to print the node to the local printer device, `PRN').
 
      The value of `INFO_PRINT_COMMAND' may begin with the `>'
      character, as in `>/dev/printer', in which case Info treats the
      rest as the name of a file or a device.  Instead of piping to a
      command, Info opens the file, writes the node contents, and closes
      the file, under the assumption that text written to that file will
      be printed by the underlying OS.
