When you say that it "looks just fine when I open it", are you looking at it as a page, or as EPS? Viewers such as GV typically show EPS files (which is what Tk's canvas generates) cropped to the bounding box, with no notion of a page. Also, it's possible that there's something wrong with your printer setup. Have you tried printing PostScript generated by other applications? -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grassuser mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grassuser
