-* If I do not use the keyword /ENCAPSULATED, I get a PostScript file, which

No idea what's wrong here. Sorry.
-* If I use /ENCAPSULATED, I can annotate at will (with XYOUTS), I can view it
-with the display tool (ImageTool) in Soalris on the screen, but it won't print
-to any of our printers (tried a Xerox 4520MP and a HP);
-* I could not see how to position the plot with /ENCAPSULATED, as you can't
-use XOFFSET and YOFFSET with /ENCAPSULATED, and the reference manual's
-advice to change the size is not really for positioning it seems;
The /ENCAPSULATED option creates an encapsulated postscript file which is
designed for inclusion within another file. It does not, therefore, include
any positioning information (hence XOFFSET and YOFFSET don't work), since
it is up to the other file to decide where to put the picture. If you
don't include it in another file, but try to print it directly, the printer
won't produce anything because it has not been told where to put it.
-* Once I use the command DEVICE with /ENCAPSUALTED this appears to stay in
-effect for the rest of the IDL session, even if I remove /ENCAPSULATED from
-the command and re-compile the procedure.
Try
DEVICE,ENCAPSULATED=0
