[comp.sys.apollo] Mathematica, print problems

houghton@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Ric) (09/13/90)

   I'm unable to get the print function to work within Mathematica.

  I have the 1.2 (january 5, 1990) version of mathematica running (and
  built) under SR10.2 on a DN2500.

  The problem appears to be in the psfix file.  If I modify
  the supplied init.m file, to use lpr instead of prf, lpr reports 
  empty pipe. 

  Does anyone have this working? 

   Thanks,

     Ric

    This may be related, I hope it's useful.   Our PSPrint was not working
    while using /com/prf.  Dan Stih of Wolfram sent me the following change
    in init.m to fix some standard-in or standard-out problem involving
    psfix:

Old line:  PSPrint[x_] := ( Display["!psfix | /com/prf -trans", x]; x )

New line:  PSPrint[x_] := ( Display["!cat - >/tmp/woof; psfix /tmp/woof | /com/prf -trans;rm /tmp/woof", x]; x )
