You have to know that Thot first create a temporary directory /tmp/Thotxxx to
store
the current state of the document and the temporary result file .ps.
In a second time, this temporary file .ps is sent to the printer or moved to
the final destination.
Finally, the temporary directory /tmp/Thotxxx is removed.
