I'd like to use one as a cheap output device for graphics. Thanks, Milo PS I know that the resolution is poor for troff, its the graphics stuff that I really want to use it for. /* ---------- */ I finally got around to writing such a plot filter around New Year's. It was intended for TI's 855 printer attached to our 750 but will work with the various printers from Epson. I'm currently polishing it and plan to distribute it thru net.sources. One interesting note is that the output from this filter, when saved to a file, can be downloaded to a micro and sent to an Epson attached to it. I've done this and it works just great - no need to have an Epson attached to your UNIX machine. It'll take a little work but it appears that my filter should be runnable on an IBM-PC or similar machine provided you have sufficient memory for the bitmap. The only thing that needs to be done is to have graph(1) or plot(3) implemented on said type machines. Any takers??? Has anyone actually USED the -g option on 4.2's LPR ??? All I get are single blank pages, multiply queued (n = ?). Oh, we're (ab)using Ultrix on Waltz. ====================================================================== _____ |\/ o \ o -Rusty- | ( -< O o Where's the fish? |/\__V__/ ARPA: Haddock%Waltz%TI-CSL@CSNet-Relay Rusty@Maryland (forwarded to CSNet address) CSNet: Haddock@TI-CSL USENET: {convex!smu, ut-sally, texsun, rice} ! waltz ! haddock
