Printer/Plotter problem [message #32959]

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?
