I have just installed Windows 95 and reinstalled IDL 4.01. When I try to
print out, for example, a program listing, I get a printer error message.
Any idea what could be wrong?

I am using an IBM compatible 486 66 MHz system with 16 MBytes of RAM.

Thanks for your help
Stephen Herman

While I am very happy with RSI's technical support, I am praying that
they do fix the above problems. Especially since they advertise IDL as a
tool for slicing through thick and thin complicated problems.

I work around the problem of printing graphs by doing a screen dump into
the clip-board (Alt Print-Scrn), and then copying to Paint, and then
printing from there. This is good enough for the quick and dirty work.
