Printing problems from IDL in Windows 95
I have just installed Windows 95 and reinstalled IDL 4.01. When I try to print out, for example, a program listing, I get a printer error message. Any idea what could be wrong? I am using an IBM compatible 486 66 MHz system with 16 MBytes of RAM. Thanks for your help Stephen Herman

Here's hoping they release a native 95 version soon (including > long filenames). While I am very happy with RSI's technical support, I am praying that they do fix the above problems. Especially since they advertise IDL as a tool for slicing through thick and thin complicated problems. I work around the problem of printing graphs by doing a screen dump into the clip-board (Alt Print-Scrn), and then copying to Paint, and then printing from there. This is good enough for the quick and dirty work. -- Mirko Vukovic, Ph.D. mirko.vukovic@grc.varian.com Varian Research Center Phone: (415) 424-4969 3075 Hansen Way, M/S K-109 Fax: (415) 424-6988 Palo Alto, CA 94304-1025
