- Yes, you will have to convert gpr bitmaps to PostScript to print them on
- the PXi. There are many such filters around to convert various raster
- formats to postscript but I don't know of one for gpr. As you have a
- non-standard machine/operating system I suggest you ask HP/Apollo if such a
- filter exists.

- Yes. And If you are running HPUX, there exists xwd to ps filters.
