PrintGL Description
PrintGL is a shareware pen plotter emulator package for DOS and Windows. It
includes DOS and Windows stand alone versions (PrintGL/D and PrintGL/W) and a
DOS resident version (PrintCAD).
PrintGL prints or displays HP-GL (HP Graphics Language) and HP-GL/2 subsets and
ADI (Autodesk Device Interface 4.0) plotfiles from CAD and graphing packages
such as AutoCAD, Microstation, Cadkey, FastCAD, Schema, etc. It supports Epson
and IBM 9 pin printers, Epson, Fujitsu, IBM, NEC, and Toshiba 24 pin printers,
Epson Stylus, HP Laserjet, Deskjet, PaintJet, QuietJet, and HP-GL, HP-GL/2, and
HP-RTL devices, IBM ExecJet, LaserPrinter, and Quietwriter 2/3, Canon LBP, BJ,
and BJC printers, Kodak Color 4, PDP ProTracer, Star SJ-144, Tek ColorQuick,
and PostScript printers, and CGA, EGA, VGA, VESA SVGA, and HGC displays. And it
generates PCX files and EPS files with preview bit map.
Even if your graphics program supports your printer, you will probably find
that PrintGL is faster, gives better print quality, and/or gives more
formatting flexibility. PrintGL uses the best graphics modes available for each
printer that it supports and uses transfer data compression to improve print
speed on many printers. And it gives options such as paper size, orientation,
magnification, and pen width, color (with color mixing), and shading.
