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

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #63813 (project octave):

Octave GUI does not currently have a Print menu option for the figure window
when using qt (default) or fltk graphics. If you use the gnuplot graphics,
there is a print button that brings up the Operating System's native print
dialog. (just verified it works on Windows.)  I suspect this is just something
inherited from gnuplot and not implemented by Octave itself. 

I do recognize the utility of such a feature, Matlab does have
Print/PrintPreview options in their figure Menu, but it's a separate issue
from the original report about not even being able to print on Windows using
the print commands at the command line.   It may provide a workaround in the
meantime by switching to the (not really supported anymore) gnuplot toolkit
with :

>> graphics_toolkit("gnuplot")

I did file a feature request for a Menu/button in the other toolkits over at
bug #63814
