Is anyone out there familiar with the Tektronix Parallel Interface or
know of a easy to find document which describes it.  We have a 4693DX
color printer and we are trying to improve the quality of the hardcopy
that it produces.  Currently we dump our X-window images in TARGA format,
ship the files to the PC (printer is attached to the PC) and print them
using a program called "tektarga".  Tektarga doesnt do a very good job
of color matching - so we'd like to get a hold of the TPI description
(or the source to tektarga) and "roll our own".

Please respond via email.

Thanks in advance.
