I desperately need to be able to print Postscript on the HP LaserJet. I have some simple Postscript generated by idraw (a drawing utility for Unix machines under X11) and splot (a graph plotting utility under X) and I include these as figures in a TeX document using psfig. I then run dvi2ps and (usually) print the document+figures on a Postscript printer. All's well, except now, I need to be able to do the same with an HP LaserJet. The best solution would be a magical Postscript to LaserJet format filter that would convert the final Postscript to LJ format. I guess this could be next to impossible for arbitrary postscript. The other solution would be to first convert the (simpler) Postscript generated by idraw and splot to LJ format, and patch it into the TeX document while going from dvi to LJ (dvijet?). This way I dont use dvi2ps at all. Has anyone done this? I guess the bigger question is, just how do folks who use TeX and an HP laser jet, include figures (without using cut and paste) in their documents? Thanks for your advice/help/suggestions Prasad
