Printing to a Printer Using GhostScript

If you are using a non-PostScript printer, you may encounter an incompatibility that causes the figure to print incorrectly. For example, some parts of the figure may not print. In some cases, you can get by this problem by using a GhostScript driver:

• From the UNIX menus
• From the command line

Note    See the print reference page for a list of GhostScript drivers. You cannot specify a printer driver from the Windows menus.

From the UNIX Menus

1. Select Print from the figure window's File menu. This invokes the Print dialog box.
2. Set Destination to Printer and choose a printer name from the Printer list.
3. From the Driver list, select a GhostScript driver that is compatible with your printer. Click OK to print.

From the Command Line

This example uses a GhostScript driver to send the output to the default printer, an HP LaserJet III. See the print reference page for a list of GhostScript drivers.
