Hi

I have a problem in printing graphics from 'helicawheel' command.

We have GCG 7.3.1 running on an UNIX machine (Sparc 10). There is a 
laser jet 4M plus printer on the network with a print queue. This printer
can understand postscript and text inputs automatically. So to
print text or postscript file, we use the 'lpr' command.

lpr -Pps_acb427 <file>


When I use the helicawheel command, it says 
"When your LaserWriter attached to /dev/tty10 is ready, press <rtn>."

How can I redirect the plot output to the print queue? I used the 
'postscript' command to choose the printer. The script is shown below.

--------------
molbio.usc.edu(8): postscript

 Use Postscript graphics with what device:

  LaserWriter
  Lzr1200
  LN03-ScriptPrinter
  LPS20
  ColorScript-100
  EPSF (encapsulated postscript file)
  CEPSF (color encapsulated postscript file)

 Please choose one ( * EPSF * )

 To what port is your EPSF connected (*  *) ps_acb427

 Plotting Configuration set to:

       Language: psd
         Device: EPSF
  Port or Queue: ps_acb427

I also used the 'setplot' command to set the plotting configuration.
Is the following correct?

 Plotting Configuration set to:

       Language: psd
         Device: EPSF
  Port or Queue: ps_acb427

-------------

Thank you very much.
