PRINTGL DESCRIPTION
PrintGL is a shareware pen plotter emulator for IBM/DOS systems.
PrintGL prints an HP-GL (HP Graphics Language - HP 7475, 7440/17440 subsets)
plotfile on a matrix printer. HP-GL is widely supported by graphics programs
including AutoCAD, Generic CADD, MathCAD, SAS, Schema, and many more. PrintGL
has drivers for Epson, IBM, and NEC compatible 9 and 24 pin dot matrix
printers, HP Laserjet, Deskjet, PaintJet, QuietJet, and plotters, IBM ExecJet,
Quietwriter 2/3, and LaserPrinter, Canon LBP and BJ printers, Kodak Color 4,
and PostScript printers. It will also display plots with a CGA, EGA, VGA, EVGA,
or HGC, and output a .PCX or .IMG file.
Even if your graphics program supports your printer, you may find that PrintGL
is faster or gives better print quality. 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. If you need printed graphics output
from personal software, you can output HP-GL and use PrintGL to do the
printing. This gives immediate support to a wide range of printers. And it lets
you use the HP 17440 command set while supporting lower function plotters.
PrintGL Menu Interface (PMI), included with PrintGL, gives you easy access to
PrintGL's options.
