Hi,
Does anyone know of any utility that converts postscipt file to HP-RTL file
format in Digital UNIX. We have a HP DesignJet 750c and the problem we have
is when we try to print postscript files to it we get out of memory error.
It is my understanding that when a postscript file is printed to the plotter
using the lpr command, the plotter rasterizes it (it builds a picture in its
memory), so the whole rasterized file must be loaded to its memory before
printing it. Based on this, increasing the plotters memory will not ensure
that the memory error will not happen again. The better solution will be to
represent the file in a format that will enable it to be "plotted on the
fly". HP-RTL file is a rasterized file format, therefore the information is
in order and the plotter does not need to do any processing on that file. So
we are looking for any utility that can converted postscript files to HP-RTL
file format. Any response will be much appreciated.
