The option "-T hardcopy" is used to to get thedefault (for a site) hardcopy.   The default for the plotting programsis postscript send to the spooler program "lpr".   If this iscorrect for your installation, then you do not have to do anything else..ppThe vector plot programs, aplot, genplot, mlplot, plotfield, plotsd,plotspec, and scatplot can plot to a hardcopy devices that are compatible with Tektronix plot codes, Postscript, or HP Laser Jet printers.    If the option "-T hardcopy" is used with these programs, Tektronix compatible plot codesare sent to a program called esps_plot (in our bin directory).  This program takes Tektronix codes and sends them to a plotter.   By default, this script is set up toconvert the plot to Postscript and spool it to lpr.  So if you have a Postscriptprinter setup so that you spool to it with lpr, then "-T hardcopy" should work rightoff for you.  .ppIf you have an HP Laser Jet compatible printer, then use the "-T hp" option with these programs.  This option does not spool to the printer, so you must pipe theoutput to your spooler.  For example: plotsd -Thp file.sd | print_hp (if print_hpis your HP printer spooler program)..ppIf you have some other type of device, and you know how to make it plot Tektronix compatible codes, then you can edit $ESPS_BASE/bin/esps_plot to make it handle your device..sh 1 "Hardcopy from Raster Plot Programs".ppThe program for printing spectrograms, plotsgram has a "-T hardcopy" option.  Bydefault this sends Postscript to the spooler lpr.   To change this default, editthe file $ESPS_BASE/bin/plotsgram.  You can make the default one of Postscript, hp laser jet, or Imagen.    You can also specify the name of the spooler program.It is currently set to lpr.   Search for SPOOL_CMD in the file.
