I recently acquired an old HP color inkjet style printer. It was supposed
to work with HP Graphics terminals capturing a screen image. Does anybody
know of a driver under DOS to capture a VGA screen to thhis printer?
Any information on HPGL are welcome (e.g. PS to GL converters etc.)
Thanks

I presume you have your hands on a Paint Jet. If so, it doesn't speak HPGL.
It uses HP's PCL (printer control language) raster graphics commands. There
is a driver, if memory serves, it was distributed with the printer by HP.
Is was installed as a TSR that latched onto any Print Screen invocation 
and subverted the Print Screen to its own ends. I don't have a copy, but
somebody out there must have one.
