Color Hardcopy on Howtek

[David Wood]

		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.
