Author Print Image through Unix

I have an application in UNIX (running on SCO Unix 5.0) and I created
a report that prints checks. On this report I want to incorporate the
signature which I currently have in jpeg format and print on an Epson
Laser printer.

As I have never done this before I am totally clueless as to what I
need to do. Anyone out there that can help me? My email is
paris@nodalsoft.com.cy

Thanks

1) Ditch SCO. GNU/Linux, Free/Net/OpenBSD are better alternatives,
and we don't intimidate and sue our own customers. You can run SCO
binaries on i386-linux if you must.

2) How to merge the signature with the cheque depends on what printer
control language you are using. If it's PostScript, just insert
the signature scaled and positioned as you like. The same applies
to PDF. If it's some printer-specific language like ESC/P, you'll
need to manually rotate, scale and convert into the appropriate
raster format.

More detail would be helpful, since you didn't provide any real
information about the hardware or the software...

This is USENET. You get to read the replies here as well.
