Printing your Schematic
Now that the schematic is complete, you'll want to print it out. To do this, left click Schematic Editor: File → Print. The Submit Plot window should appear.
Make sure that the "header" check box next to Plot With is NOT selected in the Submit Plot window. The header option will produce an extra page with general information of your plot such as the name of the plot, size and etc. Left click in the Plot Options button. The Plot Options window will appear.
Check the "Send Plot Only To File" and type in a descriptive name about the plot. Be sure to end the name with the ".ps" extension, as seen above. What you are plotting is a PostScript file. Left click OK in the Plot Options window and also in the Submit Plot window. When the machine is done creating the file, it will send you mail telling you that it completed successfully. To prevent this, you can uncheck "Mail Log To". You can now use the print tool to plot your schematic.
