[R] printing graphics window on Mac OS 9.2

[William D. McCoy]

I'm a long time user of R, but I'm not a regular Mac user.  I am now
teaching in a room with a dozen Macs and I'm having a problem printing
the graphics window.  I'm using R 1.5.1 precompiled for Mac OS on Blue
G3s with Mac OS 9.2.  When I have the macintosh graphics device
selected and use File, Print from the menu system, the OS attempts to
print, but the machine hangs after a few minutes.  The mouse and
keyboard freeze and the only means of proceeding is by a hardware
reset.  The printer does apparently receive some data judging by the
lights on its front panel, but nothing is printed.

Does printing the graphics window from the R menu system generally
work on the Macs or should I stick to using a postscript device?

The Mac documentation mentioned some problem with the Adobe type
manager, but I'm not sure how to check this on the Mac.  Is this
possible a problem with the type manager?

By the way, I can print text from the R console or other text windows
without problem.  And I can copy the graphics to Word and print from
there with no problem.
