Hi Ken,
offhand I would suggest that it is a problem with the
printer driver. Can you install a pure postscript driver
instead of going through xprinter (I know nothing about macos)
It works fine for me under windows, idl 6.1. I can ghostview,
distill it to pdf etc.
Details:
{ x86 Win32 Windows Microsoft Windows 6.1.1 Oct 11 2004 32 64}
and
%-12345X@PJL JOB
@PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
