Problems printing from Xfig on the Suns
Due to a bug in the version of xfig running on the Suns, you may see
an error of the form:
lpd: sanda: filter "psdf" not available [skc54 m4-167-1.mit.edu].
In order to still get a printout and avoid this error you have 3
options:
1. Export the file as a postscript file, and then use lpr to print it
out. To do this, click on the "Export" menu, and make sure that the
"Language" option says "Postscript". Specify the name of the file to
print to, and then click on the "Export" button.
2. Convert the xfig file to postscript using fig2dev in the sipb
locker. Just type:
add sipb
fig2dev -L ps xfigfile | lpr -Pprinter
3. Use a workstation of a different type to print out your xfig file.
