That's right. It will print fine but only if you print it to a postscript
printer. If you want to use another printer I would recommend getting
ghostscript/ghostview and using those to print out. In fact that is how
I print IDL graphics on my ink jet. I write out to a PS file and use gsview
to interpret it.
