What are the config.abc files autogenerated on modern linux systems
these days? Does miktex cater for that on windows?
See below.
In any event, it's looking as if the old "Adapt Output" box is kind of
useless. I take it that the idea would be this: (i) you want to run
dvips -P<printer>; and (ii) you have more than one printer you use,
which is why you can't just put it in the "Printer Command" box. But
this will work only if you have config.<printer> files for each printer
you use. (Obviously, the default ones will rarely work, since few people
have printers named "builtin35". So the box is only useful if you have
config.<printer> files for each printer you use. Yes? Perhaps the
tooltip should say that, then: "Check this box only if you have
config.<printer> files installed for each printer you use." Or better:
"If you don't know what this does, you don't need it. (See info dvips
for help.)"
