Hello Sun-managers
We have several postscript printers but we need to print HP-GL plot files.
Does anyone know of some software that will convert HP-GL plot files
to postscript.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Solution >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Solutions:
1) GNU has a package called hp2xx that will convert hpgl files to a number
of other formats including pcl and ps.
ftp.uu.net:/packages/gnu/
2) hp2ps
3) hpgl2ps
brolga.cc.uq.oz.au:/postscript/hpgl2ps
It seems solution 1) was the better of the three by the responses.
Thanks to the hundreds of replies.
One person flamed me. I am not sure but I was always under the impression
that printer administration was part of a Unix administrator's duties?
