Author Postscript to HPGL/2 or PCL raster
Ian Wilson

2005-02-15, 9:00 pm

I have a JPEG logo I have converted to bezier curves in EPS format
(Using Inkscape - excellent Open Source product BTW). As part of an
alternative printing strategy I'd like to be able to produce a PCL macro
overlay from this EPS file. I believe I need either PCL raster commands
or HPGL/2. I can then edit in the appropriate PCL macro commands.

I guess its offtopic to ask here about converting JPEG to PCL raster
(oops I just did :-)

Is there an invocation of ghostscript, or another program, I can use to
convert EPS to HPGL?

My company has a commercial EPS to HPGL/2 batch conversion tool.
Requires vector-based input, as raster images are not supported in our
HPGL output. Free eval download or sample file conversion available.
