Question: How do I print the current screen plot (PP) under Unix and Windows? In UNIX, the PP command to print the last plot on the screen works, but sends the plot off to the wrong printer; how do I get PP to send the plot to the correct printer? In UNIX, Dataplot’s PP command sends the plot off to your current default printer. To determine the current printer, enter from UNIX: echo $PRINTER To change the printer default (e.g., to lw9), use the UNIX setenv command (either manually or via the .cshrc file): setenv PRINTER lw9 Alternatively, you can set the default printer in the Dataplot session with the Dataplot command: set printer lw9 For Windows, there are two basic cases that we will consider separately: • Printers that support Postscript or HP-GL emulation (e.g., most HP LaserJet printers) • Generic Windows printers (this would include deskjet, paintjet, etc.
