Netlanders, Is there a conversion program available that will allow me to convert a Postscript file to a a file that may be printed on an LQ-compatible printer with graphics capability? I've searched c.s.m and c.s.u newsgruops, and all I've found is something to go in the opposite direction. Thank you, - Paul

I know - I use it! Get it from prep.ai.mit.edu. You'll need both the program AND the fonts. Version 2.1.1 is what I have but version 2.2 is supposed to be released momentarily. Use the Canon Bubblejet BJ10e driver if YOUR LQ supports 360 X 360 DPI, hack it slightly (I can send you the diffs if you need them) if, like mine, your LQ-clone only supports 180 X 180 DPI. Good luck! -- Bill Meahan (WA8TZG) | Programming is simple: wwm@wa8tzg.mi.org OR | uunet!mailrus!sharkey!wa8tzg!wwm | All you have to do is put the right "Home for Cybernetic Orphans" | numbers in the right memory locations!

Yes, I've been waiting to hear the question answered also. Paul, if you get an positive answere by Email, could you please forward me a copy? I too have seen the reverse but I'm waiting to here the other way around. I have the source for ghostscript and I suppose with some (alot) of effort this could do it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- \ Paul Moreau Orange, California UUCP: ..!ccicpg!dorjam!paulm \ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- \ Paul Moreau Orange, California UUCP: ..!ccicpg!dorjam!paulm \ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
