- I would think the easiest thing to do is get the any-graphic-format-
- to-any-other-graphic-format conversion suite for X (it's called pbmcnv
- or something like that) to get your files into postscript. Then use
- GNU's excellent Postscript interpreter (gs = ghostscript) and compile
- it with the laserjet defined. This will generate very nice HP PCL
- files that you can lp, cat or cp to the printer.
