**Comment**

To use this function a PostScript-Driver must be installed. You do not need to
have a PostScript-Printer connected to your computer.

If you like to create color EPS files select a color PostScript-Driver,
e.g. ``HP Color LaserJet PS``. As printer port select ``File:``. Give
the driver a name that you do not mix it up with your standard printer, e.g.
``UniPlot-EPS``.

In the printer setup select the option EPS in the PostScript options.
as shown in the following dialog box:

You may have to change the driver if the quality of the result is not satisfying
(font problems).
