I have a LOT of PCL printers here (mainly HP 4V's) that I would like to use
to print graphics. Can UNIX drive a PCL printer directly ? I would like to
use my printers withiut having to buy Postscript cartridges + memory.

I plan to use Oracle Reports 2.5 which can only use PostScript printers. Is
there a way to "fool" applications and print "through" a converter of some
sort which would translate postscript to PCL 5 ? Is there suche thing in the
public domain ?

To complicate the matters, I print through a Novell NFS server. But I could
plug the printers directly if need be...


                                                        Many TIA !
