[comp.sys.amiga] Plotting to Dot Matrix

dewolfe@ug.cs.dal.ca (Colin DeWolfe) (12/20/90)

Does anybody know of a program (hopefully PD/Shareware) which will plot HPGL 
files on a dot matrix printer?  I guess what I'm looking for is an HPGL 
version of something like PrintScript.  I remember hearing of one a while 
back and I now have a need for it...

Pointers to an ftp site would be nice...

Mucho thanks...

The PLT: device is what you're looking for, it does a real nice job both on
screen and on the printer:
