Since it uses java, I'm not sure whether java or J itself is the culprint. For the pd_printsetup, normally one call it like z=. wd'mbprint pd_printsetup'
the first line of z will be the printer chosen. the second line should the printer for the session, iirc. Then one save the print name in some global noun, and in subsequent printing, pass this print name instead of null to glprint. I can see the file/print is seldom used and fixing it would not be considered as urgent. However it should be taken in account in the J7 beta. You can also test if printer setting is correct in J7 beta if gtk and plot packages have been updated NB. printing will not yet work in linux64 require 'graphics/plot' pd 'reset' pd 1 o.20%~i.100 pd 'save bmp' pd 'print' pd 'show' Пнд, 05 Июл 2010, David Vincent-Jones писал(а): > Thanks bill for your assistance on this one ... > > Some overview of my tests: > > 0.
