[comp.lang.postscript] ps2hpgl?

ble4x@jeeves.acc.Virginia.EDU (Beth Elias) (09/21/90)

Can anyone tell me if there is a public domain
postscript to hpgl converter available anywhere?
We have a Sun4/110 that we would like to hook
our HP LaserJet up to if we can find a halfway
decent ps2hpgl package.

Thanks for any help!

I am also interested in such a beast.  Please send a pointer to me as
well.  Thanks.

HP LaserJet printers are not HPGL.  I think they call it HPL, or something
like that.  HPGL and the language used to control the HP LaserJet are worlds
apart.

I don't know if commercial products like GoScript are available for the Sun.
