Glenn, You have to have a sounding currently displayed- otherwise print does nothing. After you have a sounding displayed, you can use the "print" pulldown under the FILE option on the menubar. At that point, you will get a pop-up window called "printer setup". I verified that the binary solaris gempak 5.6.D.1 version I posted does in fact do this....but you have to have a sounding displayed first.
