I'm not sure.
try the following ...
clf
surf (peaks)
print -dpsc test.ps
[status, output] = system ("lpr -l test.ps ; lpq")
If the que is empty, then I suggest you verify you can print from the command
line.
I have limited experience with "lpr", but if you have questions please ask. If
I can't help, someone else will be able to.
Ben
p.s. Pls reply at the bottom to make it easier for those arriving late to
follow along. Thanks.
