: Here is an example...

: IDL> loadct, 40
: IDL> set_plot, 'ps'
: IDL> device, /color ! Check manual for numerous options
: IDL> contour,dist(20),c_colors=indgen(22)*12,nlevels=20,/cell_fil l,/xs,/ys
: IDL> device, /close
: IDL> set_plot, 'X'

: PRINT OR VIEW idl.ps

Just to add - one of the numerous options is the number of bits, and
for high quality you'll want to increase the default from 4 to 8 with
device,bits=8
