[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63813] Can't print plot directly to printer

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #63813 (project octave):

TLDR: How to get the "print" menu when printing a plot in Windows 10 so the
user can choose to print to a specified printer or to pdf? Without
automatically saving the document(could get cluttered if it auto-saves).
Getting the same error as comment #1.

I'm doing development on the program both on Windows 10 and on Linux
(Manjaro). The priority is to get it to work seamlessly on Windows as this is
the platform the software will be used on mainly. I also get this error on
Windows also when I run the print command. Do you know any workarounds in
Windows 10 to get the "print" pop up menu? I couldn't find any easy solution
for this, and I'm hoping there is one. The other more complicated solution is
to use the system() function to call a PowerShell then try to call the printer
menu from there, but I at this point only found out how to print directly to
the printer without the menu popping up with:
Get-Content -Path ./readme.txt | Out-Printer
