Thanks to Sundar and Prof. Ripley. It was a false alarm. It's just hard to tell that lwd and lty are being respected in the printed output. We have a HP4050 Laserjet. I used "print to File" in the print dialog to write to a ps file and look at it in Gsview. I had to magnify it quite a bit to be able to tell That lty=2 and 3 are dashes and dots. Also, as Sundar said, lwd is only apparent when several values are used on the same plot.
