Color printing to a Lexmark printer [message #20300]

I just went through an exercise on color printing to a Lexmark
(Optra SC 1275) printer on our network (this is idl 5.3.1 on WinNT4).

Setting set_plot,'printer' and device,/true_color or /indexed_color
did not produce color output.

The only way to do it was set_plot,'pcl' and device,/color to generate
a pcl file. I then used the PrintFile utility program to send the file
to the printer and got my color output.

Does this jibe with other folk's experience?

(as a side-note, I was unable to obtain color prints on that printer
with Ghostview 2.9 and Ghostscript 6.01. Someone else might have
better luck.)
