I'm trying to get graphics output from a Tektronix 4014 xterm to an HP LaserJet II compatible. Are there any programs around that will perform this function? Or any programs that will output ANY kind of graphics/fonts to an HP LaserJet II compatible under Unix (AT&T Sys V r3.2)? I've seen lots of postscript support, but nary a trace of HP LJII support. As an aside, perhaps, are there any good books on the PCL 4 printer language? Thanks in advance.

If you are using an xterm in tektronix mode, xwd piped to xpr (with the appropriate setting -device ljet ) will do a very nice job on any PCL printer. I use a script like: #! /bin/csh xwd > ~/tmp/xl$$.wd echo xwd finished xpr -device ljet -density 150 ~/tmp/xl$$.wd > ~/tmp/xl$$.pcl echo xpr finished lp -oraw -ddeskjet -onb ~/tmp/xl$$.pcl echo lp finished /bin/rm ~/tmp/xl$$.* To print on a deskjet.
