A while pack there was some discussion about
getting screen images to a printer. That particular
discussing centered around B/W PostScript files.
Well we've got a nifty set of tools for getting color
hardcopy onto a Howtek/PixelMaster printer. I realize
this may seem a bit specific, but as the printer itself
is not that expensive (5k) I thought I'd advertise both
the printer and the utilities. The printer has 240 dpi
and way more than 256 colors using ink jet technology.
Anyway, source, man pages and a script are available
via anonymous ftp from cmcl2.nyu.edu in the tar file
pub/iris/pixprt.tar.
Included in the tar is a filter that converts imglib
images into pixprt compatible input (see the imgprt script).
This allows us to cut (icut) arbitrary images from the screen
and print them. Hooray!!!
I'd appreciate any comments on experience or
improvements to the package.
