I am having problems producing color output on my printer. IDL 5.5 on a PC with an Epson inkjet. The following commands were used to check out the printer color after checking on a monitor: Device, decomposed=0 loadct,38 plot,dist(100),color=60 set_plot,'printer' plot,dist(100),color=60 device,/close The result was a grayscale plot. I checked the setup with dialog_printersetup(), I tried "device, /true_color" on the printer which just changed the colors to shades of red. So what do I have to do to get IDL to print my multiline plots in the colors that I see on my monitor when I'm using the "win" device? Steve
