MATLAB: Do characters appear as the Greek letter “psi” when printing the figure to a printer

$$hplaserjetlatexMATLABoddpsititleupdatexlabelylabel

I create a MATLAB figure with latex symbols as a x-axis, y-axis, and/or title label. Then, if I print the figure using File -> Print… , the labels appear as psi symbols.

This behavior could be due to an issue with the installed printer driver.

To fix this issue, select the correct driver for the printer that you are using, and make sure the driver is up-to-date.

When all the conditions don't match, the variable psi is empty, maybe you should initialize your variable psi to what is needed

Presuming MS Windows:

pfid = fopen('LPT:', 'w');
fprint(pfid, 'something to be sent to the printer');
fclose(pfid)

This simple version assumes that the printer will handle printing plain text. Which is perhaps getting increasingly rare. But if the printer will not handle printing plain text, then write the output to a file and then tell a program to convert the file to whatever your printer does handle (e.g., pdf files), and then to send that resulting file to the printer.

If you want to launch the MS Windows printer tool, there is an ActiveX somewhere around that can deal with that.
