System name:		w20-575-75.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/4 8.2.10
Display type:		tcx

What were you trying to do?

Print the current figure from Matlab.

What's wrong:

Instead of printing the figure as it should, Matlab returned the following error.  The same occurs when I try to print by choosing print from the pull-down menus in the figure.

>> print
??? Error using ==> unix
Unable to run system command and return output.

Error in ==> /mit/matlab_v5.2/distrib/toolbox/matlab/iofun/print.m
On line 1379  ==>         [ustatus, uoutput] = unix([lprcmd ' ' filename]);

What should have happened:

Matlab should have printed the figure; it does so properly on every Unix and NT system I've ever used, except for Athena (it even works on several other MIT systems)
