I finally came around to post my HPGL to PostScript converter to comp.sources.misc, in the hope that the moderation overhead there won't be as bad as in comp.sources.unix. I hope you should receive it soon.

I hope you should receive it soon. Greetings, netlanders ! I have some small questions and wish someone can give a straight answer. 1) Does HP LaserJet Series II understand HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) ? 2) Does HP LaserJet Series II understand PostScript ? 3) I have this small line drawing program that generates both HPGL and PostScript format files. Can I have these files send directly to the LaserJet ? or do I need extra command headers ? I wrote this program. What it does is simply drawing lines from an one (or two) variable function (y=f(x) or z=f(x,y)). In order to have it printed on the LaserJet, I made the program write to a 3000 by 2550 by 1 bit buffer, then dump the whole buffer to Laser- Jet. It comes out very nicely in 300 dpi resolution but takes 20 minutes. I wish there's a faster way to do so. Any reply or suggestion is appreciated. Merry Christmas to all of you !! cpchang@sunybcs.bitnet
