Check out piclab from wuarchive.wustl.edu in the gif directory or the
graphics directory.  Also in the gif directory get the screen grapper
that saves the screen in a gif format.

The piclab driver for the paintjet is good if you play with the gamma
correction a little.

We have found that a gamma of 1.3 with the paintjet XL set to
presentation mode gives good pictures.
