A while pack there was some discussion about getting screen images to a printer. That particular discussing centered around B/W PostScript files. Well we've got a nifty set of tools for getting color hardcopy onto a Howtek/PixelMaster printer. I realize this may seem a bit specific, but as the printer itself is not that expensive (5k) I thought I'd advertise both the printer and the utilities. The printer has 240 dpi and way more than 256 colors using ink jet technology. Anyway, source, man pages and a script are available via anonymous ftp from cmcl2.nyu.edu in the tar file pub/iris/pixprt.tar. Included in the tar is a filter that converts imglib images into pixprt compatible input (see the imgprt script). This allows us to cut (icut) arbitrary images from the screen and print them. Hooray!!! I'd appreciate any comments on experience or improvements to the package. David Wood New York University 212-998-3029 wood@acf2.nyu.edu
