 Formatting and Printing Hardcopy
 ********************************
 
   There are three major shell commands for making a printed manual from
 a Texinfo file: one for converting the Texinfo file into a file that
 will be printed, a second for sorting indices, and a third for printing
 the formatted document.  When you use the shell commands, you can either
 work directly in the operating system shell or work within a shell
 inside GNU Emacs.
 
   If you are using GNU Emacs, you can use commands provided by Texinfo
 mode instead of shell commands.  In addition to the three commands to
 format a file, sort the indices, and print the result, Texinfo mode
 offers key bindings for commands to recenter the output buffer, show the
 print queue, and delete a job from the print queue.
