Questions T12 and T14 of the FAQ deal with a couple of aspects of
plotting to postscript devices. If we need another entry dealing with
the specifics of this, I'll put it in. Otherwise, I feel that the info
in the IDL reference manual and the FAQ cover it sufficiently.
The FAQ is posted on or about the 20th of every month to this group and
the news.announce group. The latest version can be found (officially)
at eos.crseo.ucsb.edu in /pub/idl and (unofficially) at rtfm.mit.edu.

This question is coming by so often, I am forced to conclude that this newsgroup
needs a FAQ, if it doesn't have one already. Of course, lacking a FAQ, the IDL
manual is pretty clear on this topic, too.
To recapitulate, what you want to do is switch your IDL graphics output device
from X (or whatever else you're using) to PostScript, and regenerate your plot
over again with another SURFACE command. For example, try this.
IDL> set_plot,'ps' ;Switch IDL to PS mode, opening file IDL.PS.
IDL> device,/landscape ;Optional, but nice.
IDL> surface, array ;Also most other graphics plotting commands work too.
IDL> device,/close ;If you want to print the file right away.
IDL> spawn,'appropriate print command goes here'
IDL> set_plot,'X' ;Reset plotting device to X.
Hope this helps.
