PCL TOOLS
=========
This archive contains a number of tools that come in handy with PCL
printers (such as the HP LaserJet and DeskJet printers). Except for
the PDumperLJ module all programs are command line driven (I just
don't have the time to program GUIs for each of these).
PDumperLJ: New PDumper for LaserJet (3 or newer) printers (works
with some DeskJets but won't improve anything there).
With LaserJets it can dramatically shrink the printout
size.
ASC2PCL: For LJ only: Fast, simple formatted text printing
(thumbnails) and powerful search/replace engine.
Updated.
PackPCL: For LJ only: Creates PCL raster data from black & white
sprites or compresses raster areas in a given PCL file.
re-compiled with GCC 2.7.2.
PlaceRaster: For LJ only: Use in conjunction with the output PackPCL
creates from sprites. Updated.
ReadPCL: Reads PCL raster data (b&w, CMY, CMYK) and converts it
into sprites (1 or 4 bpp). Updated.
PCLtoRGL: Converts PCL CMYK printouts as created by !Printers to
RGL, a related printer dialect.
psprite: Convert sprites of arbitrary colour-depth via error-
diffusion-dithering to b/w or CMYK sprites or PCL
printouts. Can handle new format sprites on old machines.
Can run in a TaskWindow and doesn't need !Printers.
For more information check out the programs' directory folders.
