Print to a non-PostScript, HPGL2 printer
 
 
 

The Print Canvas and Print Window modes can be directed to any printer.

Plot Print printer support is designed for printers that support high-level graphics languages (PostScript or HPGL2). Alias does allow you to print to lower-capability printers (bitmap printers) on Windows in that mode, with some restrictions.
