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

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Update of bug #63813 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Confirmed              
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Microsoft Windows

Follow-up Comment #14:

So it looks like `lpr` is not present by default on recent versions of Windows
(see [1]) but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent command line utility (see
[2]). So we definitely need another approach. I thus marked this bug confirmed
but restricted to Windows.

>> I don't know what is required to make it work for printing the contents of
the figure window.

AFAICS Qt only supports printing using their QPainter system (not printing an
arbitrary PDF/PS file as `lpr` does), so the easiest way I can see to print
figures would be to use octave-svgconvert which already has a QPrinter based
class for printing to PDF.
