Getting nice printed output [message #10371]

I have an IDL 5 program that uses polyline objects to draw orbits of
bodies in the solar system. Typically, I have a dozen or so objects,
and each one has 120 vertices. This produces great output on the
screen, but I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting decent printed
copy. I can use IDLgrWindow::Read() and write_jpeg to get mediocre
output, but I'd like to do better. When I use an IDLgrPrinter object
and produce postscript output, the resulting ps file is about 15 megs.
The printers and programs like powerpoint die trying to do anyting
with it. Any ideas?
