This works for me:

Wave> @setupcolorplot
Wave> your_plot_routine_here
Wave> @endcolorplot

where setupcolorplot.pro looks like:

set_plot,'ps'
plotdirname = '/tmp/'
compressed_date = strmid(datestr,0,2)+strmid(datestr,3,2)
compressed_time = strmid(timestr,0,2)+strmid(timestr,3,2)+strmid(timestr,6,2)
plotfilename = compressed_date+'_'+compressed_time+'.ps'
pathtofile = plotdirname+plotfilename
device,file=pathtofile,/landscape,/Color
print,"Re-execute plot command, then @endplot."

and endcolorplot.pro looks like:

device,/close
set_plot,'X'
cpcmd = 'lp -dlj_res '+pathtofile
spawn,cpcmd
print,cpcmd

You end up with a postscript file in /tmp/0130_120549.ps (if you did
it on 1/30 at 12:05:49).
